To determine if the student's response is Questionable, the Tier 2 Team must establish a process to determine how long it will take for the trend line and long-term goal line to meet. This will allow them to determine if this is acceptable (Positive Response) or unacceptable (Questionable Response). This process should include a reviewing the student's data:
1. Review the daily percentage bar graphs - Ask, is there a trend?
2. Review the pace at which the current goal line is increasing - Ask, is it taking weeks or months to increase?
3. Review the angle of the trend line and long-term goal line of 80% - Ask, how long will it take for the trend line to meet the 80% goal line?
From here the Team will create data decision rules that will determine a Questionable response to the intervention. Examples include:
1. Daily percentages are below current goal line 3 out of 5 days for several weeks.
2. Goal hasn't increased for 3 consecutive weeks.
3. The slope of the trend line indicates it will take greater than 6-8 months to cross the end goal of 80%.
