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 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  • Outcome — at case closure, the recorded outcome (improvement, no change, withdrawn, referred out) broken down by intervention.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 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).
