The Gateway cycle would be the first nine weeks that a student is enrolled at YESPhilly. During that cycle, the focus of learning would be specifically on foundational level math and English. This cycle would be used for baseline bench-marking, continually assessed, placed into appropriate RtII levels, and rostered into appropriate courses the following cycle. Using a benchmarking and progress monitoring tool, such as AIMS-Web, students with higher degrees of intervention necessity would be strategically and increasingly more aggressively progressed monitored for several cycles, including throughout their time at YE-SPhilly. The Gateway program would be implemented at the beginning of the September cycle (Cycle
