## At a glance

- **Who uses it:** Admins reviewing what's working at their school; district leaders comparing across schools; facilitators reflecting on their own caseload.
- **When to use it:** Monthly during the school year, more deeply at end-of-quarter and end-of-year.
- **Permissions required:** Facilitators see their own caseload; admins see their school; district admins see across schools.
- **Navigation path:** Reports → Intervention trends.

## Purpose

This report shows which interventions are being used, how often, and what outcomes they produce. It is the primary feedback loop for refining the [interventions library](/help/cases/interventions-library) and the MTSS plan it represents.

## What you can see

- **Volume** — count of interventions applied per category over time.
- **Cadence** — daily, weekly, custom — distribution by frequency.
- **Tier mix** — Tier 1 / 2 / 3 distribution across active cases.
- **Outcome** — at case closure, the recorded outcome (improvement, no change, withdrawn, referred out) broken down by intervention.
- **Stale interventions** — interventions that no one has used in the last X days, useful for library pruning.

## Step-by-step

1. **Reports → Intervention trends**.
2. Set the date range and (optionally) filter to a school, grade band, or facilitator.
3. Read the panels left-to-right: volume → tier mix → outcomes → stale list.
4. Click any bar or row to drill into the underlying cases.

## Tips & best practices

- Look at outcomes by intervention each quarter — drop or revise interventions with consistently "no change" outcomes.
- Pair this with the [school rollups](/help/reporting/school-rollups) view for district-level comparisons.
- Use the stale interventions list at end-of-year to retire library items no one is choosing.

## Common mistakes

- Reading volume as effectiveness — high volume can mean a library default, not a deliberate choice.
- Comparing schools without normalizing for student population — use the per-100-students view on the school rollups report.

## FAQ

**Why don't I see outcomes for some interventions?**
Outcome data is only recorded when a case closes with an outcome filled in. Empty outcomes (cases closed without one) are excluded.

**Can I share a saved view of this report with my team?**
Yes — use **Saved views** in the report toolbar. Views are scoped to your school (admin) or district (district admin).
