Goal 2-Development and Innovation


 

4-year project 2019-2023

 


Objectives


• Develop a secure digital Decision Support System (DSS) 

• Iteratively field test DSS in a school using Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)

• Evaluate the short term impact of DSS implementation on valued student outcomes

DataWall System

• Digital, web-based, secure

• Integrates multiple databases 

• Facilitates decision-making
: Recognize Patterns
, Thresholds/Alerts
, Mark Interventions


Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Process 

• Evidenced-based, behavior

• Meeting foundations

• Decision making-protocol 

• Prior general references to data replaced with DataWall references


 

DataWall + TIPS = Decision Support System (DSS)
