Data use is central to everything we do in Tier 2! This course builds off of the lessons learned in the Tier 2 Overview and Practices courses. Here we explore the important ways that data are used to identify students in need of support, match that support to need, monitor progress, and make both individual student and group intervention decisions. Emphasis is placed on understanding the characteristics of data and effective data use. Participants completing this course will be well-poised to refine and improve data routines supporting effective Tier 2 implementation.
Please note that you must complete the Tier 2 Overview course first. Upon successful completion of that course, you will get an enrollment key to enroll in the other courses in the strand, including this course.

Emphasis is placed on understanding the characteristics of Tier 2 support with a specific focus on how to find and select the right evidence-based interventions for successful Tier 2 practices. Participants completing this course will be well poised to move on to the next two courses in the Tier 2 strand, Data Use and Systems.
