Do you have questions about how to collect and use diagnostic data to inform adaptations when students aren’t responding to an intervention? Watch the recording from the December 14, 2023 webinar If You’ve Got a Problem, ICE-L Will Solve It: Using the RIOT/ICEL Matrix to Help Guide Intensification Decisions! In this webinar, Dr. Jason Harlacher, Education Systems Task Lead and Technical Assistance Provider at NCII, describes how the RIOT/ICEL matrix can support problem-solving by helping teams to organize their diagnostic data, refine hypotheses, and guide decision making. Dr. Harlacher highlights examples, shares and applies resources for data collection, and connects the variables in the RIOT/ICEL matrix with the dimensions of the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity.

Are you unsure what RIOT/ICEL is? RIOT/ICEL refers to a way to organize data collection. RIOT is assessment methods (review, interview, observe, test) and ICEL refers to areas to assess (instruction, curriculum, environment, and learner).
