How can school and district leaders establish the conditions needed for educators to successfully implement data-based individualization (DBI) for students with the most intensive needs? To help put the pieces in place for the next school year, join our free webinar, Planning for Success: Building Readiness to Implement Data-Based Individualization, May 2, 2024 at 4:00 pm ET to learn how supporting the readiness of educators and establishing the necessary infrastructure for DBI are keys to success. Readiness involves identifying needs, establishing shared goals and plans for DBI, enhancing buy-in, addressing barriers, and reviewing and securing resources, among other topics. Assessing and developing readiness may save time, resources, and effort when implementing DBI. In this webinar, Dr. Zachary Weingarten, Product Development Coordinator at NCII, will highlight key recommendations to build readiness to implement DBI. Dr.

This brief reviews provides considerations for creating readiness to implement DBI to support successful implementation and scale-up in schools.
In this webinar, experts from the PROGRESS Center and National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) model how practitioners can use data-based individualization (DBI) to develop and implement SDI for students with disabilities and a panel of special educators share how using DBI improved the efficiency and effectiveness of their service delivery, communication with families, and collaboration with other educators.
Are your intervention planning meetings taking up too much time or resulting in limited solutions? This webinar, Better Together! Keys to Creating Collaborative, Efficient, and Effective Intensive Intervention Team Meetings, shares the important role teams can play in implementation of intensive intervention and identifies strategies to improve meeting efficiency and effectiveness. Presenters, Sarah Benz, Amy Peterson, and Nicole Bucka, introduce a series of data teaming tools designed to help facilitators and participants before, during, and after their intervention meeting. These tools allow for active participation in individual problem-solving meetings, which can provide a clear plan for intensifying an intervention based on a student’s unique needs. Presenters discuss how tools may be used and highlight lessons learned from district and school-level implementers.
State education agencies (SEAs) have an important role in initiating, supporting, and sustaining district- and school-level implementation of intensive intervention for students with severe and persistent learning and behavior needs. This document outlines five recommendations offered by SEA personnel who successfully led DBI capacity-building efforts in their states.
During fall 2020, educators provided virtual, in-person, and hybrid intervention with an ongoing need to engage with and support parents and families. Although the context and environment may have changed, the focus on providing high-quality interventions with validated practices, monitoring student progress, and adapting and intensifying supports based on student data as outlined in the data-based individualization (DBI) process continues to be applicable across virtual, in-person, or hybrid models. This document presents considerations for implementing DBI in light of COVID-19 with an emphasis on delivery in virtual settings.
This Innovation Configuration can serve as a foundation for strengthening existing preparation programs so that educators exit with the ability to use various forms of assessment to make data-based educational and instructional decisions within an MTSS. The expectation is that these skills can be further honed and supported through inservice as practicing teachers.
This guide is a set of strategies and key practices with the ultimate goal of supporting students with the most intensive behavioral needs, their families, and educators in their transitions back to school during and following the global pandemic in a manner that prioritizes their health and safety, social and emotional needs, and behavioral and academic growth.
This guide highlights 5 key practices for teachers and families to support all students, including students with disabilities, at school and home. For each practice, the guide provides (a) tips for teachers to support students with disabilities during instruction; (b) tips for families that educators can share to support or enhance learning at home, especially during periods of remote instruction; and (c) free-access resources that include strategies shown to be effective by research (e.g., informational guides, downloadable materials, research-based programs).
This webinar challenges current thinking about how to set appropriately ambitious and measurable behavioral goals in light of the 2017 Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District decision by the United States Supreme Court. Dr. Teri A. Marx from the National Center on Intensive Intervention and the PROGRESS Center, as well as Dr. Faith G. Miller from the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities, share how to set ambitious behavioral goals for students by using a valid, reliable progress monitoring measure, and how to write measurable and realistic goals focused on the replacement behavior.
