    In this episode we talk with the ELA department of Bear River High school Heidi Jensen, Jamie Marble, and Kelbie Jackson. We discuss how this department uses data to pinpoint student gaps. These gaps are taught to students during an intervention built into their schedule. They talk about the Utah State Standards and how they break those down to understand what students really need to know.
