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

Decision Support System

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)

• Project Evaluation
• Research Questions
• Fidelity of DSS and Fidelity of MTSS implementation
• Usability, Feasibility, and Acceptability
• Impact Analysis
• Cost Analysis

Measures

• MTSS Fidelity Checklist
• TIPS Fidelity Checklist
• Focus groups (Field tes t-Yr 2)
• User statistics from DSS
• Student outcome data (Pilot study -Yr 3 and 4)
