The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) has been working closely with NCII to align and scale up use of data-based individualization (DBI) across the state. One of the strategies CDE has used is the development of virtual learning resources and online learning modules on DBI to help make professional learning accessible to all educators. In this Voices from the Field video, Dr. Jason Harlacher and Veronica Fielder share CDE’s process for developing virtual learning modules on DBI and their strategies for ensuring the modules are accessible to educators.

These professional learning training materials are intended to assist district or school teams involved in initial planning or implementation of data-based individualization (DBI) as a framework for providing intensive intervention in academics and behavior. The modules listed below provide an overview of the DBI process and more in-depth exploration of the various components of DBI.
NCII, through a collaboration with the University of Connecticut, developed a set of course content focused on developing educators’ skills in designing and delivering intensive reading instruction. This content is designed to support faculty and professional development providers with instructing pre-service and in-service educators who are developing and/or refining their implementation of intensive reading intervention.
This updated training module provides a rationale for intensive intervention and an overview of data-based individualization (DBI), NCII’s approach to providing intensive intervention. DBI is a research-based process for individualizing validated interventions through the systematic use of assessment data to determine when and how to intensify intervention. Two case studies, one academic and one behavioral, are used to illustrate the process and highlight considerations for implementation.
This page is intended to help college and university faculty locate information, tools, and resources to support developing, modifying, or enhancing coursework and field experiences related to intensive intervention implementation.
Wyoming's Intensive Intervention Implementation Story Beginning in 2016, the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) begin initial implementation of data-based individualization (DBI). It started with four teachers and is now used by hundreds of educators across the state. To support its local educators, the WDE hosts a robust website of DBI resources and available professional learning, including online learning modules and onsite coaching. While the WDE used resources available through the National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) for several years and formally joined the NCII as partner in 2020. The impact of the WDE’s DBI work is seen in its increasing state performance data for students with disabilities and the existing infrastructure developed to sustain supports for local educators implementing of DBI.
