Overview

This module builds on that foundation by shifting the focus to intervention planning, which includes asking the right questions, examining student data, and understanding behavior to ensure the supports selected are targeted, efficient, and truly responsive to student needs. These decisions are part of a broader continuum of interventions, ensuring students receive the right level of support based on their individual needs.
