Greetings Everyone,

My name is Tabatha Ridley and I am one of four EIP teachers at Oakland Elementary School. I am proud to serve all students, but more specifically, students within the EIP program. I have a total of 84 students that I serve weekly. They include two segments of 5th Grade Math, two segments of 5th Grade Reading, a segment of Third Grade Reading, and a Kindergarten segment of Reading. 

The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is designed to provide interventions for students who are at risk of not reaching or maintaining their academic grade level based on their performance on state or national assessments or performance measures in English Language Arts/Reading, Mathematics, or both, in order to help them meet grade-level expectations within the shortest possible time.  Early intervention programming must include targeted, evidence-based interventions, frequent progress monitoring, and clear entrance and exit criteria based on grade-level performance.  It is not the intent of the program for students to be assigned to EIP on a continuing or permanent basis.
