1.13 Data-based Decision Making

Tier I team reviews and uses discipline data and academic outcome data (e.g., Curriculum-Based Measures, state tests) at least monthly for decision making.

Date Sources

• Data decision rules
• Staff professional development calendar
• Staff handbook
• Team meeting minutes

Scoring Criteria

0 = No process/protocol exists or data are reviewed but not used

1 = Data reviewed and used for decision making, but less than monthly

2 = Team reviews discipline data and uses data for decision making at least monthly. If data indicate an academic or behavior problem, an action plan is developed to enhance or modify Tier I supports

Main Idea

Teams need the right information in the right form at the right time to make effective decisions.

Guiding Questions

1. Is data analyzed at least monthly?
2. Is data shared with team and faculty monthly (minimum)?
3. Does the team dis-aggregate data to inform and monitor equitable practices?

Surface Level to meet criteria

• Does the team have access to discipline data for the entire student body (school-wide)?
• Does the team have access to academic data for the entire student body?
• Are those data clearly and logically linked to the annual action plan for Tier I?
• Are those data reviewed at least monthly?
