The module includes presentation slides with integrated activities and handouts to help teams determine their readiness and develop an action plan for implementation. Participants should include the school\u2019s principal and the core team likely to lead DBI implementation. Members of this team may include the behavior support team, interventionists, special educators, school psychologists, counselors, and other administrators, as appropriate. If the school is working with a coach or technical assistance provider, that person should attend the meeting, (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Introduction to Data-Based Individualization (DBI):\u00a0 Consideration for Implementation in Academics and Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n To access this module and it’s support documents, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “This training module provides a rationale for intensive intervention and an overview of data-based individualization (DBI), NCII\u2019s 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.\u00a0 Two case studies, one academic and one behavioral, are used to illustrate the process and highlight considerations for implementation (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Secondary Interventions:\u00a0 Setting the Foundation for Intensive Support\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n To access this module and it’s support documents, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “This training module,\u00a0Secondary Interventions: Setting the Foundation for Intensive Support<\/em>, explains the purpose and rationale for secondary or Tier II interventions, (a) as part of a larger multi-tiered system of support, and, (b) in laying the groundwork for effective intensive intervention.\u00a0 This module is part of a larger set of trainings that cover different elements of the data-based individualization process for delivering intensive intervention, and provides a review of the essential elements that should be in place for secondary interventions to function effectively and promote functional intensive interventions (NCII, 2019.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Using Academic Progress Monitoring for Individualization Instructional Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n To access this module and it’s support documents, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “This training module demonstrates how academic progress monitoring fits into the Data-Based Individualization (DBI) process by (a) providing approaches and tools for academic progress monitoring and (b) showing how to use progress monitoring data to set ambitious goals, make instructional decisions, and plan programs for individual students with intensive needs (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monitoring Student Progress for Behavioral Interventions<\/strong><\/p>\n To access this module and it’s support documents, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “This module focuses on behavioral progress monitoring within the context of the DBI process and addresses: (a) methods available for behavioral progress monitoring, including but not limited to Direct Behavior Rating (DBR), and (b) using progress monitoring data to make decisions about behavioral interventions (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Informal Academic Diagnostic Assessment:\u00a0 Using Data to Guide Intensive Instruction\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n To access this module and it’s support documents, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “This training module,\u00a0Informal Academic Diagnostic Assessment: Using Data to Guide Intensive Instruction<\/em>, includes four sections that (a) provide an overview of administering common general outcome measures for progress monitoring in reading and mathematics, (b) review graphed progress monitoring data, (c) introduce error or miscue analysis of curriculum-based measures for the purpose of identifying skill deficits in reading and mathematics, and (d) provide guidance on identifying what type of skills the intervention should target to be most effective in reading and mathematics (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Using FBA Diagnostic Assessment in Behavior\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n To access this module and it’s support documents, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “This module serves as an introduction to important concepts and processes for implementing functional behavior assessment (FBA), including behavior basics such as reinforcement and punishment.\u00a0Throughout this module, participants will discuss both real world and school based examples to become familiar with the FBA process and develop a deeper understanding and awareness of the functions of the behavior.\u00a0Key topics include (a) defining FBAs in the context of DBI; (b) basic concepts in behavior, including antecedents, behaviors, and consequences; (c) levels of FBAs; and (d) considerations and procedures for conducting FBAs (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What Do I Do Now?\u00a0 Individualizing Academic Interventions when Standard Approaches Don’t Work<\/strong><\/p>\n To access this module and it’s support documents, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “This module discusses approaches to intensifying academic interventions for students with severe and persistent learning needs. The module describes how intensification fits into DBI process and introduces four categories of intensification practices.

The emphasis of this training will include four main content areas: (a) relating assessment to function, (b) selecting evidence-based interventions that align with functions of behavior, (c) linking assessment and monitoring, and (d) connecting data with the evidence-based interventions selected. The overarching goal is to connect concepts and theories in behavior and begin planning how intensive intervention can be put into practice to support students with intensive behavioral needs (NCII, 2019).”<\/p>\n In summary, the National Institute for Intensive Intervention provides extensive training, support and information on validated programs for intensive intervention and progress monitoring.\u00a0 Consider using their tools chart to gather information and access information on validated intervention programs and progress monitoring tools.\u00a0 Please note that some of the modules are designed to be delivered by a trained professional with knowledge of the implementation of the DBI process.<\/p>\n To access the NCII Intervention Academic Tool Chart, click here.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/cdn.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my\/my-prd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3220\/2019\/10\/NCII-Taxonomy-650x564.png\")
