The Individual Data Meeting (IDM) Collaborative Problem Solving
RTI – Teaming for Data Analysis & Decision Making Tier 3 Tier 2 Tier 1 MET Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team Tier 3 IDM Individual Data Meeting Tiers 2 & 3 GDM Group Data Meeting Tiers 1 & 2
Individual Data Meetings Purpose : Use a problem-solving process to identify issues that may be inhibiting a student’s progress. Goal: Develop interventions that address a student’s particular difficulties in order to increase chances of academic success.
IDM: Logistics • At the GDM, members agree on a date • Homeroom teacher invites the parent • EIS begins to compile pertinent data • Cum. File • Background/Family History • Health • Classroom Info.
IDM: Infrastructure Elements • Team includes EIS, School Psychologist, Parent, Teacher, Special Education, others as appropriate • Documentation includes cum. file review & meeting Documentation forms • Data includes benchmark, progress monitoring, classroom information & other relevant sources
Define the Problem Problem Analysis Evaluation Intervention Planning IDM: Collaborative Problem Solving Process
IDM: Process • Process led by school psychologist • Team specifically defines the problem • Strengths, Challenges, Interventions to Date, What Has Helped • Team examines all possible explanations for the existence of the problem. • Bio-physical influences • Environmental influences • Social/Behavioral influences • Individual Trait influences
IDM: Process (cont’d.) • Team generates hypothesis to explain the existence of the problem. • Team identifies interventions that address hypothesis • Who, when, & how • Team identifies follow up meeting date • Intervention data is evaluated at follow up • Team uses data to make decisions • Continue intervention at Tier 2 • Return student to Tier 1 • Move student to a Tier 3 intervention/Referral to Special Education
Special Education Consideration • Special education referral must be supported by the IDM hypothesis. • i.e., suspected processing deficits, significant medical conditions or emotional conditions
Remember… • The goal of this process, GDM IDM, is to increase the likelihood of student success through data-driven decision-making & problem-solving. • This process may occasionally result in a special education referral. • It is expected that a large majority of students will be supported through continued general education intervention and progress monitoring.
