Skills - New Intervention Plans

Shared by Chris • May 28, 2024

The second set of intervention plans has arrived in the library!

Similar to set 1, there are 25 per age range, with each plan focussing on a single subskill. They are written, tested, and quality-assured by educators with at least 10 years of classroom experience.

We've incorporated customer feedback to ensure each plan is different. If students struggle with the same subskill, they don't feel they are doing the same task again.

Set 2 has all the resources you need to complete the 6 lessons, except paper and pencils/pens.

We've made a small change to make switching between your Satchel Pulse accounts easier.

Now you will see the School name for the account you are viewing on the top action bar, and you can use the drop-down option to switch to a different account easily.

Don't worry; your universal search bar can still be accessed next to the Help Center button.

We've made the Classes pages easier to navigate and use. Teachers and interventionists will be better able to identify students' needs and be better supported in what to do next with the data.

  • When viewing a class, the default view is the tier breakdown.
  • You can switch and view a class list and use filtering options to narrow the focus.
  • You will see a new view, the ‘Class priorities’ section, which replaces the 'area of focus' section.
  • You will see the 3 lowest subskills for the class and a quick wins button for suggestions for each.
  • You will see recommended resources for each subskill called ‘Classroom ready resources’, or you can browse the library.
  • You can see a new table for resources assigned to a class instead of the ‘Interventions’ table.
  • You can see a new resource view for resources assigned to a class.
  • You can see a new view of playlists assigned to a class.
