Beyond Basics: Gaining the Skills for Collaborative
Problem Solving
Instructional Intervention Teams Level 2 Training – Middle School
July 2014
Objectives
Participants will:
Review key communication skills and other background information all IIT problem solvers need.
Learn and practice the skills needed at each stage of the problem-solving process including use of the Student Documentation Form (SDF).
Explore resources for assessing students’ needs and developing interventions.
K-W-LTake a moment to briefly indicate:1. What do you KNOW about IIT? 2. What skills do you have related to
IIT?3. What do you WANT to get out of
this training?

Key Communication Skills
*Paraphrase
*Perception Check
*Clarify
*Summarize
*Use for first 5 exchanges of Problem Identification.

Repetition
Prepare to Practice
▪ Think of a real student you are concerned about
▪ As the student’s “teacher,” what instruction (subject matter included) do you provide? What tasks does the student have to do?
▪ Jot down some potential “data” that you have about the student
Practice Contracting
Working in groups of 3, each person should have one opportunity to
participate in the practice rounds as the:
Case ManagerTeacher
Observer
Problem Identification
▪ Shared understanding
▪ Narrowing focus and setting priorities
▪ Setting goals
Practice Problem Identification
Working in the same groups of 3, each person should have one
opportunity to participate in the practice rounds as the:
Case ManagerTeacher
Observer
Setting GoalsBaseline – where the student is currently
performing
GOAL – where the teacher wants the student to be performing within a set time frame
Consider:
▪ Curriculum expectations
▪ Teacher expectations
▪ Typical student's rate of progress
▪ Targeted student(s)'s rate of progress
▪ Limits of working memory
Methods for Setting Goals
25% Rule for Short-Term Goal
1) Multiple baseline by .25
2) Add the number obtained in step 1 to baseline
Split the Difference for Interim Goal
3) Subtract short-term goal from long-term goal
4) Divide that number in half
Common sense approach after multiple factors considered

»Half the table reads the NYTimes article.

Strategy/ Intervention Design
▪ What will help meet specified goals?
▪ What conditions are needed to maintain an instructional match?
▪ When can the strategy be embedded in instruction?
▪ What are the specifics of the intervention?
▪ Who else would benefit from the intervention?
