The Blumberg Center's Collaborative Problem Solving Project (CPSP) is funded by the Indiana Department of Education, Division of Exceptional Learners. The CPSP supports schools to develop and implement systems of tiered prevention and intervention that actively engage school personnel and families in the task of creating academic and behavioral success for all students.

Tiered prevention and intervention systems

provide high-quality instruction and intervention matched to student need,
monitor progress frequently to inform instruction and intervention, and
use student data to inform important educational decisions.

Assessment, instruction and intervention, and problem-solving are core components of tiered prevention and intervention models and are also integrally related to larger school improvement efforts.

The CPSP conducts research and provides professional development opportunities that promote research-based and culturally responsive practices in the areas of assessment, instruction and intervention, and problem solving. A variety of written resources are available or under development to support schools interested in utilizing tiered prevention and intervention systems or a Response to Intervention (RtI) approach.

The CPSP services are not all inclusive to support every school's needs for implementation of tiered systems, but it is the CPSP's intention to collaborate with other professionals and technical assistance centers to fill in the gaps and expand services over time.

Please view the core components of tiered prevention and intervention below to learn more about services offered by the project.
