  1. IPASt Intervention Planning and Assessment System.v.two (IPASt) David Putnam, Jr., Ph.D. Oregon RTI

  2. Why IPASt?

  3. Effects of Progress Monitoring • Progress monitoring has been extensively researched in Special Education (Fuchs & Fuchs, 1986) • Students showed improved reading scores when teachers: • monitored their progress (+.70 effect size) • graphed their reading scores (+.80 effect size) • used decisions rules to determine whether to make a change in instruction while monitoring student progress (+.90 effect size)

  4. Why We Monitor Progress For your typical student that’s a gain of… +32%ile points +29 %ile points +26 %ile points

  5. A Brief History of IPAS A Simple Idea, Scope Creep, and the Big Bang

  6. What Is IPAS? • Electronic system for • Managing universal screening and progress monitoring data • Enhanced decision making in an RTI system • IPAS is NOT a BROAD BAND data management system (i.e., eSIS, Data Warehouse) • Data is organized into three “clusters” • Lists of all students & all available data • Lists of all students in interventions • Individual student pages with intervention data, graphs, and other documents

  7. What Are The Primary Functions? • Identifying students in need of intervention • Progress monitoring • Data analysis and intervention decision making • Generating individual graphic student reports

  8. Where Does IPAS Reside? • Hosted on TTSD server • IPAS is web-based and would be accessed via your district website • TTSD has four levels of security: • District Administrator • District User • School User • Teacher • Security managed by each district

  9. Who Uses IPAS in TTSD? • Primarily: Literacy/Reading Specialists, Learning Specialists, Other Interventionists • Secondarily: District Administrators & Coaches, Building Principals, Teachers

  10. How Are Data Entered? • Group data can be uploaded by transferring a data set (i.e., DIBELS ORF, AIMSweb Maze Scores) into an Excel spreadsheet and then into IPAS • Individual student data can be entered directly by users with the right “write” access

  11. What Are the Benefits? • Brings student progress data to life • Makes the data accessible to all • Automatically generates graphs with aimlines& trendlines, and applies decision rules • Can be used in meetings to display and analyze data in real time • Electronically stores student information for further review and analysis • Flexible system that can be customized

  12. IPAS Demo

  13. Installation: TTSD Hosted Web-Solution • IPAS is a web-based solution hosted by TTSD. • A district IPAS “Administrator” (person or persons administering the program at the district level) is assigned a name and password. The District administrator in turns assigns user names and passwords for each user within the district. • The program can be pre-populated with TTSD assessments, benchmarks, and decision rules that can be customized for district use.

  14. Installation: Download to District Server • Alternatively, IPAS can be downloaded to your district server and installed locally • District is then responsible for maintenance and modifications • Requires Sequel Server (does not require large capacity) • Approximately 1 day of tech time to install

  15. Remember…. • We are not Microsoft 
