Abstract
Response to intervention (RTI) for academics or behavior requires that data from multiple sources are collected and monitored to evaluate efficacy of interventions for individuals, groups of students, and whole school populations. An explosion of data sources for RTI and positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) in recent years has allowed school teams to base educational decisions on multiple sets of reliable and valid data; however, with large quantities of available data comes the challenge of securely storing these data and retrieving them in an efficient manner. This process of data warehousing has led to the emergence of a number of commercial products aimed at storing data key to RTI and PBIS and providing teams with a range of reports and graphs to facilitate making informed, data-based decisions about instruction and interventions. A review of the data analysis teaming process along with common types of data used in the RTI/PBIS process is provided. Sample data warehousing products are offered with a review of their strengths and limitations.
