• Have supportive roles with Students and Teachers
• Can push in or pull out with students as per Teacher
discretion

and weaknesses
• Holistically assess students for all areas of concern;
academic, social, emotional, human health services, etc.

Instructional Staff will work with Migrant students
via 2 methods. They will push in and work with the
students in the class in collaboration with EPISD
teachers or they will pull out the students and work on a
area of weakness.
When performing academic duties, the
Instructional Staff will have a Collaboration Log in place
and share this plan of instruction with the teacher of
record. The goal of the Collaboration Log is to build
stronger collaboration between EPISD staff and Region
19 MEP Staff.

26. Academic Frequency
You are the teacher of record and the Region 19 staff
is here to help you and the Migrant students. The method you
see fit is at your discretion and any recommendations you
have, share with the MEP staff. Each academic session
should be no less than 30 minutes.
The sessions will vary monthly, but the total time for
academic intervention will be at least 2 hours a month for
students struggling academically. Please allow the
Instructional Staff to help and support you by sharing any
concerns and data you have about the Migrant students.
The MEP staff have access to CCRP and I provide
additional data through a Shared Services Agreement and a
Memorandum of Understanding.
