meetings). Teachers, including the student’s mentor, brainstorm ideas and strategies and discuss<br />
possible interventions. Sometimes this meeting leads to an individual Student Study Team<br />
meeting where parents, student and teachers are in attendance to create a plan for interventions<br />
and their implementation.<br />
Montessori Curriculum Support<br />
<strong>Grove</strong> provides for students who are struggling with Montessori curriculum in a number of ways<br />
including:<br />
TGS offers two family orientations, one in May and another in August<br />
Provide parents with multiple opportunities to participate in Montessori Parent education,<br />
including events on weekends and evenings<br />
Increased parent communication, including weekly written communication and/or online<br />
progress notes from teachers<br />
Increased scaffolding and supervision which diminishes as students demonstrate<br />
independence (i.e. preferential seating)<br />
Clearly defined physical and behavioral boundaries – verbally and in writing<br />
Written behavior contracts<br />
Peer intervention, shadowing and mentoring<br />
Increased family involvement including parent participation in field trips, classroom<br />
activities, etc.<br />
Digital Technology<br />
Students at <strong>Grove</strong> have access to school laptops throughout the day (they are “checked out” and<br />
returned at the end of the day). Struggling students have access to take home laptops on an asneeded<br />
basis. The <strong>Charter</strong> <strong>School</strong> provides site-based internet for all students and teachers.<br />
<strong>School</strong> Information System<br />
The Aeries <strong>School</strong> Information System is accessible by students and parents online. Aeries<br />
provides students and parents with an online gradebook, access to see previous, current and<br />
upcoming assignments, links to Google classroom, Google classroom websites, documents<br />
related to assignments, disciplinary notes, and graduation progress with credits.<br />
Parents and guardians receive an email from TGS twice a trimester to inform them that grades<br />
and evaluation of student work in Aeries has been updated and they should take time to review it<br />
with their adolescent.<br />
All <strong>Grove</strong> students (and their teachers) have a <strong>Grove</strong> Google email account and access to the full<br />
Google suite of applications. Teachers and students use this tool to communicate, send drafts of<br />
work and provide ongoing feedback for work in progress.<br />
