Step 04
Measure Growth
Is the intervention working?
What happens in this step?
This step is about determining whether the intervention is working. Your team reviews progress monitoring data, evaluates how consistently the intervention was implemented, and decides on next steps.
Goal: Use the available data to determine the effectiveness of the intervention and identify the next steps.
Review Progress Monitoring Data
Compare the student's progress to the established goal to determine whether meaningful growth has occurred.
Review Implementation
Determine whether the intervention was implemented consistently and as it was designed.
Evaluate the Student's Response
Use the available data to determine whether the intervention should continue, be adjusted, be intensified, or be concluded.
Determine Next Steps
Based on the student's response, decide whether to continue the current plan, modify the intervention, celebrate goal attainment, or return to earlier steps in the problem-solving process.
Key Output
A data-based decision about the effectiveness of the intervention and a clear plan for the student's next steps.
Problem solving is an ongoing process. Schedule your next review meeting and continue monitoring progress and make data-based decisions about the student's support plan.
