What is AIS?

  • 1.  What are academic intervention services (AIS)?
    Academic intervention services help students who are struggling to achieve the learning standards in English language arts and mathematics in
    grades K-12 and social studies and science in grades 4-12. These additional general education services include:
  • Extra instructional time to help students achieve the learning standards in the subject areas requiring AIS, and
  • Support services to help students overcome barriers that are affecting their ability to learn, such as attendance problems, family- related issues, discipline problems and health-related issues. Support services could include school guidance and counseling services to improve attendance and coordination of services provided by other agencies.

  • 2.  How does a student become eligible for academic intervention services and when should they start?
    There are two ways a student becomes eligible for AIS.
  • One way is when a student does not pass an elementary, intermediate or commencement-level state assessment in English language arts, mathematics, social studies or science. Not passing means that a student has not met the "state-designated performance level." 
  • The second way is when the school district determines that the student is at risk of not meeting state standards.

What is the goal for AIS students in Mrs. Clemens' class?

Students are working toward passing the Global History and Geography Regents and the United States History and Government Regents exams in June.

Planning for this course

As I began planning for this course, I found that none of my colleagues had a set curriculum when they had taught the course previously.  I looked around to try to find out what other schools and teachers were doing to effectively prepare their students for the Regents in social studies and had great difficulty finding anything specific or meaningful.

My goal is to update this page as I go and to ultimately share what worked and did not work for me and my students while teaching this course.  I am planning on adding a copy of my planbook for this course at the end of the semester.  Hopefully through my trials and errors I can help other teachers who might be struggling with teaching this course.
