SPED 668 Intervention Project

For my SPED 668 class this semester, I spent time in a high school setting working with one student on an intervention project. I had to first observe and get to know a student and look through their IEP to see an area where they were struggling and where I could help them. I decided to work with a 9th grade boy who was struggling with math. I used an AB design for my study to compare the results of the intervention. After getting to know my student, I gave him three pre-tests on addition and subtraction of integers. I then created my intervention which was bell ringers to do each morning to help him remember how to add and subtract integers. After ten days of bell ringers, he took three post-test. He improved greatly! This is an experience that I can take with me throughout my career. I got to see the step by step process of creating an intervention and going through the AB design. I will be able to use this design in the future for my own students.
