Existing School Data Inventory Sample and Template
TOPIC IN ACTION
Pause & Reflect #1
Consider these questions about data in your school:
- What behavioral and academic data does your school currently collect?
- Where is the data stored?
- Who has access to the data?
Pause & Reflect #2
Review your list of all the academic and behavioral data collected in your school.
- Which measures will you use for early identification of students needing Tier 2 behavior supports?
Identify students perceived to be “at-risk” in your school and determine the range for each measure you selected.
- Based on the range, what will be the trigger for “at-risk”?
- What will be considered “proficient”?
- What will be the trigger for “high-risk”?
Use the blank template on page 2 of the Existing School Data Inventory Sample and Template handout to document your draft existing data inventory.
- Are there other teams in your building who might consider using this format for the support they provide?
Pause & Reflect #3
- Once you have a draft of your existing data inventory, how will your share and receive input from staff?
- Do you have a system in place to receive information about students who need to be included on the Tier 2 team agenda if the Tier 1 team’s monthly data review determines that a student has met a decision rule?
- Will the crossover team member provide this information to the Tier 2 team or will someone else have this responsibility?
- Will the crossover team member provide this information to the Tier 2 team or will someone else have this responsibility?
TOPIC IN PRACTICE
There is a scenario embedded within the lesson about how a Tier 2 team might develop ODR data decision rules for proficient, at-risk, and high-risk based on their school’s existing data for at-risk students.
- Discuss with your team what ODR data decision rules you would establish for proficient, at-risk and high-risk for this school.
- Why were those rules selected?
