This article explains how details about academic interventions for individual students and groups can be added to the progress monitoring record (behavior interventions are set up differently). This can be done when the progress monitoring schedule is created and updated if an intervention is changed.
Before You Start

- Select the X next to a student's name to remove them from the list.
- Select Next to continue after all students have been chosen.

- Select a Start Date and End Date. The End Date is the anticipated date when data will no longer be collected.
For scheduling purposes, a Sunday must be selected as the Start date. The Start Date will be when the interventionist began or will begin collecting progress monitoring data. By default, the Start Date will appear as the Sunday prior to the current date
In many cases, educators will simply use the end of the school year as the End Date.

When editing the intervention schedule to add a new phase, the start date must be updated in order to generate a new phase/trend line. Otherwise, the intervention starting line and new phase line will overlap eachother.
