This IRIS Star Legacy Module, first in a series of two, overviews data-based individualization and provides information about adaptations for intensifying and individualizing instruction. Developed in collaboration with the IRIS Center and the CEEDAR Center, this resource is designed for individuals who will be implementing intensive interventions (e.g., special education teachers, reading specialists, interventionists).

This IRIS Star Legacy Module, the second in a series on intensive intervention, offers information on making data-based instructional decisions. Specifically, the resource discusses collecting and analyzing progress monitoring and diagnostic assessment data. Developed in collaboration with the IRIS Center and the CEEDAR Center, this resource is designed for individuals who will be implementing intensive interventions (e.g., special education teachers, reading specialists, interventionists).
This updated training module provides a rationale for intensive intervention and an overview of data-based individualization (DBI), NCII’s approach to providing intensive intervention. DBI is a research-based process for individualizing validated interventions through the systematic use of assessment data to determine when and how to intensify intervention. Two case studies, one academic and one behavioral, are used to illustrate the process and highlight considerations for implementation.
The purpose of this module is to introduce schools interested in implementing intensive intervention to the infrastructure needed to implement data-based individualization (DBI). The module includes presentation slides with integrated activities and handouts to help teams determine their readiness and develop an action plan for implementation.
In this video, Dr. Steve Goodman, Director of Michigan's Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative, discusses considerations for ensuring that intensive interventions are implemented with fidelity.
In this video, Ellen Reinhardt, MTSS Technical Assistance Provider in Rhode Island and NCII Coach, discusses conditions that are necessary for effective and sustainable implementation of intensive intervention.
In this video, Derrick Bushon, Special Education Director for Swartz Creek Community Schools, shares lessons learned from implementing DBI at the district level.
In this video, Ellen Reinhardt, MTSS Technical Assistance Provider in Rhode Island and NCII Coach shares considerations for implementing a new innovation and why it might be beneficial to pilot the innovation before scaling it up across the entire school or district.
In this video, Michele Walden-Doppke, M.A., CAGS, Response to Intervention (RTI) Technical Assistance Provider with Northern Rhode Island Collaborative for Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) and NCII Coach in Coventry Public Schools discusses infrastructure elements that support the implementation of intensive intervention.
In this video, Mike Jacobsen, Assessment and Curriculum Director, White River School District in Washington State discusses how their districts planned for and implemented intensive intervention within the districts RTI model.
