Now that you’re familiar with all the dimensions of the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity, it’s time to put that knowledge into practice and BRIDGE-RI is here to help! If you aren't ready yet to convene a team, preview this process and tools. Think about who, in your setting, the right people would be to engage in this process? Who would be best to facilitate it? When could it be scheduled? Try to identify a next step.

Step 1: With your team, choose one intervention to focus on. Decide whether it’s a reading, math, or social-emotional/behavioral intervention.

Step 2: Based on the type of intervention you selected, you can use the matching graphic organizer below to guide your thinking and discussion.

Step 3: Watch the short video below to see how the tool is used in practice. This will help you get ready for your team activity.
