    Study Notes

    Data-Based Decision Making in School Psychology

    • School psychologists use assessment methods to identify student strengths and needs.
    • They develop effective interventions, services, and programs, measuring progress and outcomes within a multi-tiered support system.
    • Professionals use a problem-solving framework for activities.
    • Data is collected from diverse sources (individual, group, systems levels) considering factors such as classroom, family, and community contexts.

    Non-Overlapping Data

    • Calculated by dividing the number of data points in the treatment phase that exceed the most extreme baseline score by the total number of data points in the treatment phase, then multiplying by 100.

    Rate of Improvement

    • Calculated by subtracting the starting score from the ending score, then dividing by the total number of scores (excluding baseline data).
