Effective Intervention
Strategies for
Learners at Risk
BELINDA S. MONDERO, EdD.
Principal III (Bayaoas Integrated School)
Why do we need to give
intervention?
Who needs intervention?
-learners- at- risk of dropping out
-learners-at-risk of retention/failing
Learners- at- risk of dropping out:
A learner who incurs absences of more
than 20% of the prescribed number of class or
laboratory periods during the school year or
semester should be given a failing grade and
not earn credits for the learning area or
subject. (D.O 8 s. 2015)
 The school head may, at his/her
discretion and in the individual case, exempt
a learner who exceeds the 20% limit for
reasons considered valid and acceptable to
the school. The discretionary authority is
vested in the school head, and may not be
availed by a student or granted by a faculty
member
 without the consent of the school head.
Such discretion shall not excuse the
learner from the responsibility of keeping up
with lessons and taking assessments.
(D.O. 8 s. 2015)
Rationale
In DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015 otherwise known as Policy
Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic
Education Program, it is stated that teachers should
ensure that learners receive intervention when they
earned raw scores which are consistently below
expectations in Written Work and Performance Tasks by
the fifth week of any quarter. This will prevent a student
from failing in any learning area at the end of the year.
Also, a learner who receives a grade below 75 in any
subject in a quarter must be given intervention through
remediation and extra lesson/s of that subject.
Objectives:

1. Identify effective
intervention strategies in
TLE for learners at risk.
Objectives:

1.2. Recognize needs and

preferences of learners at
risk.
2.
Objectives:

3. Reflect on the importance

of using intervention
strategies in bridging learning
gap
Definition of Terms

A set of steps a teacher

takes to help a child
Intervention improve in their area of
need by removing
educational barriers.
Defintion of Terms

A plan of action or
policy designed to
Strategy
achieve a major or
overall aim.
Defintion of Terms

A student who is
considered to have a
Learner at
higher probability of
Risk
failing academically or
dropping out of school.
Why use
intervention
strategies in TLE
for learners at risk?
Using intervention strategies…..

01

helps classroom teachers

identify the early signs of
learning disabilities
Using intervention strategies…..

02
allows the identification
of obstacles that hinder a
student's academic
progress.
Using intervention strategies…..

03
saves learners who are
at risk of dropping-out
and failing in certain
subjects
Using intervention strategies…..

04

supports struggling
students while measuring
their progress
Examples of
Intervention
Strategies in TLE
for Learners at
Risk
1. Differentiated
Learning
Intervention
Differentiated Learning Intervention

• is a process which allows

teachers to enhance
learning by matching
student characteristics to
instruction and
assessment.
Differentiated Learning Intervention

• provides different materials,

arrangements, and strategies
with different students based
on their needs and learning
style or pace.
Differentiated Learning Intervention aims
to address Multiple Intelligences
Examples of Differentiated Learning Activities:

Watching a video
Creating artwork
Reading an article
Completing puzzles
Examples of Differentiated Learning Activities:

Playing videos
Using infographics
Providing audiobooks
Getting students to act out a
scene
Examples of Differentiated Learning Activities:

Incorporating charts and

illustrations
Giving spoken and written
directions
Encouraging creative freedom
2.
Temperature
Check
 Temperature Check
• is the intentional
practice of
proactively checking
in
with students at least
once per week.
 Temperature Check
• This activity gives students
space to share how they are
doing, what they are thinking
about, and how they are
experiencing distance
learning.
 Temperature Check

• It helps to build student-

teacher relationships by
helping students recognize
that teachers care about
what they have to say and
how they are feeling.
How to Implement Temperature Check
Steps

Choose a day of the week to conduct a Temperature

Check with students. During the activity, check their
feelings or emotions (e.g., happy, hungry, anxious,
bored, etc.),
How to Implement Virtual Temperature Check
Steps

Send out a Google Form as a quick way for students to

tell you how they are feeling and what supports they
need. You can also do “Online Kumustahan.”
 How to Implement Virtual Temperature Check
Steps

If you identify a student who needs extra support,

be sure to check in with him or her individually
while providing additional resources they may
need.
3. Peer
Tutoring
 Peer Tutoring

• is a flexible, peer-
mediated strategy that
involves students serving
as academic tutors and
tutees.
 Peer Tutoring

• involves a higher performing

student who is paired with a
lower performing student to
review critical academic or
behavioral concepts.
 Peer Tutoring

• When selecting tutors, teachers

should be cognizant of which
students can be most helpful in
the process. They should be
mindful of differing student
personalities, needs, and
preferences.
Why use Peer Tutoring?

It is a widely-researched
practice across ages, grade
levels, and subject areas
Why use Peer Tutoring?

The intervention allows

students to receive one-
to-one assistance
Why use Peer Tutoring?

Students have increased

opportunities to respond in
smaller groups
Why use Peer Tutoring?

Students have increased

opportunities to respond in
smaller groups
Why use Peer Tutoring?

It promotes academic and

social development for both
the tutor and tutee
Why use Peer Tutoring?

Peer tutoring increases

self-confidence and self-
efficacy (Spencer, 2006)
4. Home
Visitation
 Home Visitation

• increases connection between

teachers and parents, more
parental engagement in a child's
academics, increased trust and
communication, and better
student behavior.
 Home Visitation

• boost student success and

family engagement by
building trust and authentic
relationships between
families, educators, and
students.
 Home Visitation

• reduces “blame-game”
between parents and teachers
especially with low-
performing students who are
at risk of failing or dropping-
out.

Visitation

5. Provision of ICT
and Streamlined
Learning
Resources
 Provision of ICT Learning
Resources
• Information Communication
Technology (ICT) tools contribute to
high quality lessons since they have
potential to increase students'
motivation, connect students to
many information sources and
support active in-class and out-class
learning environments.
 Provision of ICT Learning
Resources

• The integration of ICT with

teaching and learning has
produced some of the
significant positive gains in
learners’ knowledge, skills
and attitudes.
Examples of ICT Learning Resources
Examples of ICT Learning Resources
 Provision of Streamlined
Learning Resources
• Streamlining learning resources
means creating easier, simpler
and more organized information
structure and knowledge
processes.
 Provision of Streamlined
Learning Resources

• To streamline means to
make it more efficient by
removing unnecessary
parts and processes.
 Provision of Streamlined
Learning Resources

• In streamlining,
“LESS IS
MORE.”
 Memorandum from the Office of the
Undersecretary for Curriculum and
Instruction - 2020-307 released on October 30,
2020

“ Learning tasks in the SLMs may be

streamlined to ensure that activities
sufficiently develop learning
competencies leading to mastery. ”

01

Identify learners’
needs and preferences.
Tips in Streamlining Self-Learning Modules

Keep it simple and

organized without
sacrificing the MELCs.
