How do I log interventions?

Your Interventions page, accessed via the "Culture"  menu, is where you can log and view interventions at your school. The top part of this page is where you enter new interventions, and the bottom part shows you existing interventions.

Add a New Intervention

To add a new intervention, enter the student name or group you want to log an intervention for (selecting a group is how to bulk-enter interventions). Click the + button to expand the entry form and add details to your intervention.

Fill out what type of intervention it is, what level it is, when it starts, and – optionally – when it ends. If the intervention will run for the rest of the year, choose the last day of school for the end date. Doing this extra step now ensures that you have less to do at the end of the year! Learn more about ending interventions here.

Note that intervention groups, types, and levels are all configurable. You can add, edit, or remove the choices that you and your staff see when logging interventions via your Configure page.

You can also attach documents or other relevant files to an intervention by dragging files into the entry form. Once you do this, the file will be listed in the "Other Settings & Attachments" section.

Adding Additional Comments to an Existing Record 

You are able to add additional comments to an existing intervention record. This allows multiple users to leave comments on a single intervention. In order to do this, navigate to the bottom half of the Interventions page. Locate the intervention record you need using the filter menu to narrow down the results. Once you've found the record, click the "Comment Bubble," add your comment, and click "Post." 

Viewing and Filtering Interventions

Once you have several interventions in your system, you can look through them on the lower part of the Interventions page. Use the filter menu on the left-hand side to narrow down interventions by what type they are, what level they are, who entered them, whether they ended, etc.

Note that the person entering the assessment ("Created by User") doesn't have to be the person administering the intervention ("Staff Member"). This means that you can enter records for other teachers who will run the intervention.

A few other things to pay attention to:

• You can create a dynamic group on the Groups page that automatically adds and removes students based on their intervention status.  Learn more here.
• Don't overlook the "Summary" box below the filters on the Intervention page! This helpful box gives you a rundown of how many records match your search filters, grouped by intervention type.

• Remember that you can download a spreadsheet of your interventions if you want to. Use the download icon  in the upper left of the filter menu.
