Leaving the group with data, a handoff and a safety net.

Enter the recent progress checks and your team’s rule, work the handoff steps, and plan how long to keep watching. The summary says whether the data support the move and what still has to happen before it.

Drawn for this page. A move out of intervention works when the classroom teacher knows what was mastered and what is still shaky.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with the student’s initials or a code and the move date.
  2. Choose the kind of move and the skill targeted.
  3. Enter the goal, the recent checks in order and your team’s rule.
  4. Work through the handoff steps.
  5. Plan the checks after the move and what happens if progress slips.

What the checklist is for

Decision rules

Teams decide moves between levels of support with rules set ahead of time, such as three or four progress checks in a row at or above the goal. Writing the rule down and checking the data against it keeps decisions consistent from student to student.

The handoff and the safety net

Students leaving intervention do best when the classroom teacher knows what was mastered, what is still shaky and what helped, and when progress is checked for a while after the move. A plan for a slip makes it easy to bring a student back quickly.

What this checklist is not

It does not set your decision rules or decide special education eligibility. It applies your team’s own rules.
