Key Entities

This domain contains:

• The InterventionPrescription entity, which describes an activity intended to address a specific problem or diagnosis. It identifies the kinds of students targeted and how the intervention should be delivered.
• The Intervention entity, which is a specific implementation of an instructional approach, outlined in an InterventionPrescription entity, with one or more students in a Cohort entity.
• A StudentInterventionAttendanceEvent entity which captures attendance and participation for interventions.
• A StudentInterventionAssociation entity, which links students to interventions in which they participate.
• Data about a formal InterventionStudy entity for an InterventionPrescription entity may also be associated with an InterventionPrescription.

Key Concepts

The key concepts include the following:

• The InterventionPrescription entity is a course of action designated by appropriate personnel to remedy an academic or behavioral issue, while the Intervention entity is the resulting action requiring participation by the student. In other words, the InterventionPrescription entity is the noun and the Intervention entity is the verb.

  The effectiveness of an intervention for a given student is captured in the StudentInterventionAssociation entity. 

   

• The StudentInterventionAssociation entity captures data related to the student's participation in the entity, such as the effectiveness or dosage.
• Interventions can be tied to a Cohort entity, but only through the StudentInterventionAssociation entity.
• Interventions may be one-time actions or recurring actions over time. Interventions typically have assigned staff. The StudentInterventionAttendanceEvent can be used to capture the record of a student's participation in an intervention.
• Dosage in the modle
  • Prescribed time for an intervention is stored in Dosage elements. These may be a range of recommended time in minutes (e.g., MinDosage and MaxDosage in the Intervention and InterventionPrescription entities) or prescribed time in minutes for a particular student (e.g., Dosage in the StudentInterventionAssociation entity).
  • Actual time spent in an intervention is captured via the InterventionDuration element on the StudentInterventionAttendanceEvent entity.
• EducationContent metadata may be linked to InterventionPrescription entities and/or Intervention entities. The EducationContent entity includes descriptive information about the content, and was derived from the metadata model for the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI).
