A SAIG is a small group of students, identified by data within a Tier 2 team meeting, who receive additional skill instruction with opportunities to practice skills and apply them in the classroom.
In Lincoln Public Schools, SAIG serves as a Tier 2 intervention designed to explicitly teach, model, and practice prosocial, behavior, and academic skills necessary to support teaching and learning.
- SAIG directly aligns with the three core components of the PAR (Prevention, Accountability, Restorative) behavior framework.
- SAIG also upholds the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) Core Competencies and the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) model.
Logistics:
- SAIG sessions typically last 20-30 minutes, meeting weekly, with the intervention lasting 4-8 sessions/weeks.
- A SAIG should include 4-8 students, but may vary depending on the age of students, skills being taught, and dynamics between students.
- Students remain in a SAIG until the Tier 2 team reviews data and decides if the student should maintain, layer up, or layer down from the intervention.
