MacArthur Elementary showcases 'WIN Time' small‑group intervention in school recognition
Summary
Paul Beshey presented MacArthur Elementary’s WIN Time, a tier‑2 small‑group intervention that staff say is producing measurable gains on common formative assessments and is embedded in the school comprehensive education plan.
Paul Beshey spoke to the board Tuesday about WIN Time at MacArthur Elementary School, a tier‑2, small‑group intervention the school has embedded in its school comprehensive education plan to provide targeted instruction and extensions based on essential standards.
Beshey said WIN — an acronym for “What I Need” — operates alongside core instruction (tier 1) and uses daily, fluid grouping so students move between small groups as they demonstrate mastery. He described weekly professional learning team meetings that use student interview data and assessment results to determine group placement and instructional focus.
School staff and interventionists take small groups during WIN Time for both ELA and math, Beshey said, and the district provided additional support staff to keep groups small. He pointed to second‑grade CFA (common formative assessment) data included in the presentation showing increased green (mastery) and emerging yellow levels as early evidence of improved outcomes.
Beshey told the board WIN Time is intended to close gaps, build student confidence and meet learners where they are. The school framed WIN Time as a central goal in its SET (school comprehensive education plan) work.
Board members thanked Beshey and district staff and noted that the WIN approach is being discussed across district buildings as a model for tier‑2 supports.
