Kaleidoscope School

Kaleidoscope School are using the interventions it implements to address the academic impact of lost instructional time. This was done through academic, social, emotional, and mental health.

Academic
Kaleidoscope has and will continue to benchmark test all students. From the benchmark, Kaleidoscope has set up tier 2 and teir 3 interventions from those students that have been targeted. That includes using i-Ready and paraprofessionals to pull out into small groups. This data will be used to provide interventions for the students from low-income, students of color, English learners, children with disabilities, students experiencing homelessness, children in foster care and migratory students. Kaleidoscope will use paraprofessionals to have a 1 to 5 ratio with students academically struggling.

Social, Emotional, and Mental Health
Kaleidoscope has also invested in a counselor to help those students with trauma due to the pandemic. The counselor will work with students who have struggled both emotionally and socially throughout the pandemic. Students are offered counseling if it is deemed that the child needs services. The school has also invested in 30 minutes daily to a social/emotional curriculum.
