4 Analyze multiple sources of data and apply the problem solving process to make instructional decisions.
Explain the problem solving process and begin to implement it at my school site by:• Utilizing data to identify the problem• Determining why the problem is occurring• Develop an intervention plan• Evaluating student progress

2 Define each step in the problem solving process.
1 Identify the four steps in the problem solving process.

Goal
Participants will understand the four step problem solving process adopted by OCPS and will be able to
apply the process when analyzing student data
Orange County Public Schools
You are driving to work on I-4 and running late. Your car begins to make terrible noises. The check engine light comes on. Smoke is
coming from under the hood. You have a problem!
Activity
With a partner, discuss the steps you need to take to solve your problem.
Orange County Public Schools
Write down what you think the problem-solving process is in your school.
Orange County Public Schools
Intensive, Individualized Monitoring• Interventions based on student needs• Students may be several grade levels behind• Progress monitoring occurs most often
Targeted, Supplemental Monitoring• Interventions are based on data• Interventions and progress monitoring are targeted
to specific skills• Progress monitoring occurs more frequent
Core, Universal Monitoring• Research-based, high quality, general education
instruction and support• Assessments occur for all students• Data collection continues to inform instruction

Definition of the Problem Solving Model:_______________________________________________________
Orange County Public Schools
Problem Solving Model
Orange County Public Schools
Determining the difference between ‘WHAT’ is expected and ‘WHAT ‘ is occurring. Supported by data.
Step 1: Problem IdentificationWhat is the problem?
How do we know?
Orange County Public Schools
Step 2: Problem AnalysisWhy is the problem occurring?
1. Analyze multiple sources of data (Tier 1 data, school, grade and classroom data)
2. Develop student profile3. Generate hypotheses
Orange County Public Schools
Decision-Making MatrixIs this an individual student problem or a larger, systemic problem?
Are over 20% of students not meeting
expectations?
Are between 5% and 20% of students not meeting
expectations?
Are 5% or fewer students not meeting
expectations?
Examine instruction, curriculum, and environment for
needed adaptations and develop group
intervention
Develop small group intervention
Go to problem definition
Go to intervention evaluation
Orange County Public Schools
Step 3: Intervention Design and ImplementationWhat are we going to do about it?
1. Establish a performance goal for the group of students or the individual student
2. Develop an intervention plan to achieve the goal.
3. Delineate how progress will be monitored
Orange County Public Schools
Step 4: Response to Instruction/InterventionIs it working?
Measure response to instruction/intervention by using data gathered from progress monitoring

Case Study
Orange County Public Schools
Step 1:What is the problem?
Define the problem using one data source
Make correlations and re-define problem using additional data sources
Divide students into groups based on data

Alterable Unalterable Other Data
Orange County Public Schools
Step 3:What are we going to do about it?
Consider the following:• Possible interventions that can be used• Different samples of schedules for
interventions• Resources and services that can be used• District-wide documentation• List of Interventions and Support• Transition Form• Graphic Representation of Student Data• Meeting Notes
Orange County Public Schools
Step 4:Is it working?
Graphic Representation of Student Data must include:• Student Information
• MTSS formula: Problem=Expected-Observed
• Aim Line (created by the initial data point and goal)
• Dates of when the assessments were administered
• Change lines (indicate changes in intervention or strategies)
• Text boxes to indicate the changes being made
