Do you have students who are not making adequate progress in your academic interventions, and you don’t know what to do next? We're excited to announce our upcoming FREE 3-part virtual workshop series focused on collecting and using informal diagnostic data to individualize academic interventions.  Join National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) experts for these informative and interactive sessions to help you determine what diagnostic data can be collected and used to adapt interventions when students are not making adequate progress. Review the workshop overview below to learn more about the three sessions.  

Benefits for Participants:

During each of these sessions, center experts will walk you through a process to:  

• examine your existing data and identify gaps
• collect additional informal diagnostic data, as needed
• develop a hypothesis about why students are not making adequate progress and plan for how to respond.  

Each unique session is designed to be interactive, engaging, and full of practical insights tailored to help you collect and use informal diagnostic data to adapt interventions. To fully benefit from the workshop series, we recommend that you attend all three sessions. 

Workshop Overview 

Session 1: What Can You Do When Students Are Making Little to No Progress? 

What? The session will cover 

• Strategies for collecting and using informal diagnostic data to adapt academic interventions for students making little to no progress (i.e., growth is very low), including:
  • How to gather and interpret data on alignment of interventions.
  • Understanding and applying the Instructional Hierarchy to match instruction to student need. 
• Intervention adaptation strategies for students making little to no progress.

When? April 2, 2025 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET

Who? Special educators, interventionists, school psychologists, and other educators supporting students receiving academic interventions

Session 2: What Can You Do When Students Are Making Some Progress, But Not Enough? 

What? The session will cover 

• Strategies for collecting and using informal diagnostic data to adapt academic interventions for students making some progress, but not enough (i.e., modest or slow growth), including:
  • How to gather and interpret data on rates of opportunities to respond.
  • Analyzing features of explicit instruction. 
• Intervention adaptation strategies for students making some progress, but not enough.

When? April 16, 2025 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET

Who? Special educators, interventionists, school psychologists, and other educators supporting students receiving academic interventions

Session 3: What Can You Do When Students Are Making Progress in One Setting but Not Across Settings?

What? The session will cover 

• Strategies for collecting and using informal diagnostic data to adapt academic interventions for students making progress in one setting, but not across settings, including:
  • Gathering data related to effective classroom management practices.
  • Examining how skills are transferring across settings. 
• Intervention adaptation strategies for students making progress in one setting, but not across settings.

When? April 30, 2025 from 3:00-4:00 PM ET
