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 key ways data are used to identify students in need of support, match that support to need, monitor progress, and make both individual and group intervention decisions. Emphasis is placed on understanding data characteristics and effective data use. Participants completing this course will be well-positioned to refine data routines that support effective Tier 2 implementation.
