Research

• Response to Intervention (RTI) is based upon the
  assumption that schools cannot wait for
  struggling students to fall far enough below
  grade level to qualify for help. Instead,
  schools should develop a systematic, school wide
  process in which struggling students receive
  targeted, research-based interventions at the
  first sign of difficulties.

ZAP Procedures

• Students missing 2 or more assignments, or 1
  large assignment adversely affecting his/her
  grade is zapped
• Teacher contacts parent and sends work home on
  Friday with ZAP form
• Student is given the weekend to complete the
  missing assignments
• If work is returned Monday completed, student
  receives credit and is not zapped
• If work is not returned Monday complete, student
  is zapped and must attend lunch intervention
  until the assigned work is completed
• Repeat offenders are assigned mandatory before or
  after school homework club instead of ZAP
