General Description

A problem solving model links instruction and intervention to assessment data in order to support data-based decision making at all levels of a tiered, or response to intervention, framework. The effectiveness of instruction or intervention is evaluated using ongoing progress monitoring data. Educational teams, including grade-level, building-level, and multidisciplinary teams, support the systematic review of assessment data to design instructional strategies and intervention plans and inform educational decision making.

Through the Creative Problem Solving Initiative, the Blumberg Center has historically supported building-level general education intervention (GEI) teams and case conference teams through trainings in Creative Problem Solving for GEI (CPS for GEI), Essential Facilitation for Individualized Education Program Meetings (FIEP) and Co-Facilitation.

CPS for GEI has been implemented in hundreds of schools across Indiana and has supported team collaboration and the development of intervention plans. Click on the following button for more information regarding CPS for GEI.
