If we’re ever truly going to meet the needs of all of the students, we’re going to need something more intensive and individualized for our most complex learners.  This course is the first in a series of self-paced courses to help us build our Tier 3 Intensive Intervention systems and implement Data-Based Individualization (process of individualizing within intensive intervention).  Like all courses on BRIDGE-RI, Data-Based Individualization (DBI) comes from decades of research and shares characteristics with single-case design (except applying the scientific principles in school, rather than research studies).

Upon completion of this course, participants will:

• Understand the "big picture" of Tier 3 intensive intervention and how it fits within a greater MTSS framework
• Describe the purpose of and essential components of Tier 3
• Identify components of Data-Based Individualization 
• Identify and explain some common obstacles to an effective Tier 2 that could limit effectiveness of your Tier 3 work
