Taking Attendance for Interventions Monitored by Assessments – eduCLIMBER

This lesson walks through how to take attendance for interventions.

Where to Start

The Intervention Tools widget, with Record Particpation/Attendance labeled as step 1.

Access the Intervention Tools widget from the eduCLIMBER launchpad or the Interventions dashboard, and select Record Participation/Attendance.

Record Intervention Participation/Attendance

An example Record Intervention Participation menu, with the filters labeled as step 2, the Attendance dropdown labeled as step 3, the duration field labeled as step 4, the 3-dot menu labeled as step 5, the Select All toggle labeled as step 6, a selection of procedures labeled as step 7, the calendar icon labeled as step 8, and the lightning bolt icon labeled as step 9.

Use the Date, Interventionist, intervention Group, and Students filters to narrow the student list as desired.
- The Date dropdown defaults to the current date, but can be changed to take attendance for different dates.
Select the appropriate status from the Attendance dropdown for the associated student.
Enter the duration in minutes that the attendance status occurred.
Select the 3-dot menu to view the intervention plan summary or progress monitoring.
Use the Select All slider to mark attendance for all included procedures.
If the student didn't complete all procedures, select completed procedures individually.
- If no procedures are included in the intervention strategy, "No procedures required" will display in this space.
Select the calendar icon to reschedule groups or add dates for the group.
- If an intervention is created with the duration As Needed, users must first add dates to the intervention before recording participation.
Select the lightning bolt icon to bulk record participation for all students listed under the current filters.

Bulk Participation/Attendance

The Record Participation for All menu, with Participation labeled as step 1, Duration labeled as step 2, the procedures option labeled as step 3, and the Save button labeled as step 4.

After selecting the lightning bolt icon to bulk record participation, the Record Participation for All menu appears. Select the Participation status to apply to all of the included students.
The Set recommended duration checkbox is default selected. Deselect the checkbox and enter the desired Duration in minutes, if desired.
- The recommended duration equals the amount of time that was selected under the Intervention Schedule when the intervention was created.
If procedures are included in the intervention, select whether to include or exclude procedure completion in the bulk attendance.
- Selecting Yes, complete all procedures for all students marks all procedures as having been completed by all included students.
- Selecting No, do not complete procedures marks all procedures as having not been completed by any included students.
Select Save to complete. The Record Intervention Participation menu loads with all newly recorded participation. Attendance status, duration, and procedures can be further altered to capture attendance details not captured in the bulk attendance.

Implementation Fidelity

An example Interventions dashboard, with the Implementation Fidelity widget highlighted.

The Implementation Fidelity widget appears on the eduCLIMBER launchpad and the Interventions dashboard. This widget provides a visualization of the Procedures Completed, and the overall Participation Rate. When viewed on the Interventions dashboard, this widget updates dynamically according to the selected filters, allowing users to view participation for different interventions and data sets.

For example, a student might be attending an intervention every day, giving a 100% Participation Rate, but, based on the necessary procedures of the particular Intervention Strategy, they are not getting through all of the intervention requirements, giving a lower Procedures Completed percentage. This filterable data helps portray how effective specific groups are in completing the procedures for specific strategies each day, and can drive further conversation into possible barriers of student achievement.
