Add an Intervention

The following instructions is part of a larger process for logging and addressing student concerns, as defined by the Continuum of Proactive Student Supports (CPSS) for Early Intervention and Prevention. For background, please see Using the Concerns Tab.

 

Interventions can only be provisioned to students if the school has identified Goals that would be reached by applying the intervention.  When documenting Interventions, schools must identify which Goals will be addressed by the Intervention.

 

One Intervention can address multiple Goals. Similarly, one Goal can be addressed through multiple Interventions.

 

NOTE: Goals and Interventions work together, but it's important to know where you can view or create goals and interventions. See this table below:

More About Interventions:

  • Once an Intervention is created, it updates both the Concerns and Supports tabs.

  • Interventions added before 9/18/2011 through the School Profile > Interventions tab are moved to the Concerns tab if the Intervention identified a Primary Concern.

 

To provision an Intervention, first enter information about the Intervention, then select the Goals that will be achieved through this Intervention.

  8. Use the drop-down menu to select the Intervention/Instructional Strategy.
  9. Enter the Start Date in MMDDYY format. (Tips for entering dates.)
  10. NOTE - End Date and Results:  Leave these fields blank. Later in the process, when an assessment can be made, you can return to this window and enter information into these fields. End Date must be within the current school year. Saving the Intervention with these data in these fields will close the Intervention.

At some point later, if you create a Progress Chart on the Student Profile > Progress Charts tab that maps the progress of this Intervention, the chart title will be listed in this box. All Progress Charts are available for viewing on the Progress Chart tab. However, for your convenience, you will be able to view the Progress Chart for this intervention in this list box.

  18. The Select SMART Goal modal window is displayed.
  19. Check the Goals that will be achieved through this Intervention. You can select multiple goals, if applicable.

    NOTE: Goals should be created earlier in the process, before Interventions are provisioned.  However, If the school did not create Goals at this point, or if the existing goals are not applicable, the Create New SMART Goal is available for your convenience. Enter the appropriate information to create a new goal.
  20. Click OK.
  21. You will be taken back to the Goals tab, where your goals are now listed. By being listed here, these specific goals are now tied to the Intervention.
  22. Click Save then Close. The Intervention is now listed as a record under the concern.
