Progress monitoring is an essential part of a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) and, specifically, the data-based individualization (DBI) process. It allows educators and administrators to understand whether students are responding to intervention and if adaptations are needed. In addition, these data are often used to set high-quality academic and behavioral goals within the individualized education program (IEP) for students with disabilities. With the closure of schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, educators and administrators need to rethink how they collect and analyze progress monitoring data in a virtual setting. This collection of frequently asked questions is intended to provide a starting place for consideration.

South Carolina's Intensive Intervention Implementation Story The National Center on Intensive Intervention partnered with a team representing the Office of Special Education Services (OSES) at the South Carolina Department of Education, Dr. Pam Stecker from Clemson University, and Dr. Susan Thomas an educational consultant working with schools and districts in South Carolina to support data-based individualization (DBI) implementation within South Carolina. During this time, NCII worked with the team to build state capacity to support DBI and embed DBI into statewide efforts to support students with intensive needs, piloted DBI implementation with a school, built awareness through conference presentations and webinars, and held a community of practice with eight districts. View the video below to learn more about DBI implementation in South Carolina and the lessons learned along the journey.
Oregon's Intensive Intervention Implementation Story For over 15 years the Oregon Response to Instruction and Intervention (ORTIi) project has worked with districts across the State of Oregon to implement comprehensive multi-tiered systems of prevention and intervention support to improve literacy instruction that would allow each and every child in the state to become a successful reader. In 2017, ORTII partnered with the National Center on Intensive Intervention and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to further build capacity for implementation of intensive intervention at the local education agency (LEA) level.
Colorado's Intensive Intervention Implementation Story Since 2017, NCII and Colorado have partnered to build: (a) the knowledge and skills of state staff, (b) awareness about data-based individualization (DBI) through webinars and conference presentations, and (c) mechanisms to ensure sustainable DBI implementation.
