Description
Data-based individualization (DBI) is an intensive framework meant for students with the most significant needs. In DBI, teachers assess student baseline performance, set an end of year goal, implement research-based interventions, and use progress monitoring data to determine effectiveness. In the Early Writing Project, special education teachers work with coaches to implement DBI with struggling writers. Not all students respond to intervention as expected; thus, it is important to understand which factors predicted student success.
