Funding

Institute for Educational Sciences (IES)
Topic: Technology for Education
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)
