What is the Academic Intervention Plan (AIP)?

• A. A plan that replaces IEP when not needed.
• B. A plan for school safety.
• C. A plan to determine discipline procedures.
• D. A plan consisting of additional instructional services provided to the student to help achieve academically.

Answer: (D)

The concept being tested is how an Academic Intervention Plan functions to support a student who is struggling academically. An AIP is a targeted plan that provides additional instructional services beyond what the general classroom offers, with the goal of helping the student achieve academic progress.

This plan lays out specific academic goals, the exact interventions to be used (such as focused small-group instruction, differentiated materials, or extra instructional time), who is responsible for delivering the interventions, a clear timeline, and how progress will be measured. The aim is to boost learning and bring performance up to grade-level expectations, often within a MTSS/RTI framework, before considering a move to more intensive supports or a comprehensive evaluation.

It’s not about safety or discipline procedures, and it does not replace an IEP. Rather, it serves as a proactive, data-driven step to address academic gaps and determine next steps based on ongoing progress data.
