Student Data Reports

As schools implement CT's SRBI Framework, many have changed the name and processes of their early intervention team. No matter the name, the function remains – to make decisions using data about the most appropriate support for students who are struggling with academic, behavioral and/or social-emotional issues. They submit student data from their early intervention process (EIP, SRBI, SAT, EIT, etc.) so that they can evaluate the effectiveness of their team's process.This also enables SERC to evaluate the effectiveness of early intervention processes statewide.

SERC is pleased to offer this in-depth data analysis at no charge to all teams who have received EIP training from SERC. We analyze district-wide and school data to provide tables that summarize various aspects of a school’s early intervention process.

Examination of these data can assist with school improvement planning to ensure EIP quality and effectiveness and will help answer frequently asked questions, such as:

1. What are the primary reasons for teachers’ requests for assistance?
2. What is the percentage of students receiving Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions?
3. What is the percentage of cases closed because the goals have been achieved?
4. What is the percentage of cases referred to PPT?
5. Of those referred, how many are warranted? How many are eligible?
6. Are there differences in these and other data points by race and gender?

Each district’s/school’s data can be compared with the aggregated statewide data for comparison.  Districts/schools can also look for trends across all the years they have submitted data.  Currently, statewide, district, and school student summaries for the 04-05, 05-06, 06-07, 07-08, 08-09, 09-10 and 10-11 school years are posted on the EIP Student Data Reports page.

Some questions have arisen regarding how EIP fits within Connecticut’s SRBI Framework and what kinds of student cases should be included in the data submission. A school’s early intervention process is an integral component of the SRBI system of decision-making, but it is not the only one.  Many schools now have instructional data teams that make decisions about small group Tier 2 interventions, in addition to their primary role of determining common Tier 1 instructional strategies.  Typically, this function of the instructional data teams is not seen as part of the formal EIP process, and formal EIP paperwork is not completed.  Therefore, data on only those interventions developed and monitored through the formal EIP process need to be submitted.

Directions:

We strongly encourage you to use the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, which is the electronic version of the student data form (revised 01/12).

1. Read the Data Form Instructions; this will help you avoid common reporting errors.
2. Complete the Student Data Form.
3. Complete the Cover Sheet for Data Forms; this is designed to provide school contact information should clarification of reporting be necessary, as well as other pertinent data.
4. Save the Student Data Form on your computer by district and school name (e.g., East Hartford, Norris).
5. Submit the Excel Student Data Form, along with a completed Cover Sheet, no later than June 30, 2013 to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
6. If the electronic Excel version is not used, a hard copy of the completed Student Data Forms, accompanied by the Cover Sheet, should be mailed to: EIP Student Data, SERC, 25 Industrial Park Road, Middletown, CT 06457.

Important Note: If the Special Education evaluation is incomplete at the time of data submission (June 2013), schools will be asked to provide a status update/outcome of the evaluation no later than September 30, 2013.  An email reminder will be sent to the school contact person in the fall.

If you have any questions or would like to provide input about information that is collected, please do not hesitate to contact Michael O'Neill, Consultant at (860) 632-1485, ext.377 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
