Overview

This interchange describes prescribed interventions available, implementations of interventions, studies of intervention effectiveness, and education content used in the course of interventions.

Like all standard Ed-Fi interchanges, this schema references the Ed-Fi Core XSD and can be extended using the Ed-Fi Extensions Framework. See the Ed-Fi Data Standard: Developers' Guide for more information.

Use Cases

The Student Intervention Interchange can be used to:

Exchange interventions prescribed for particular purposes.
Exchange intervention prescriptions available to districts or schools.
Exchange descriptions of education content (e.g., videos, handouts, games) used in interventions.
Exchange intervention implementations and student results.
Exchange information about formal studies of interventions.

Entities

The following table describes the primary entities of which the Student Intervention Interchange is composed.

Name	Description

Name	Description
EducationContent	This entity represents materials for students or teachers that can be used for teaching, learning, research, and more. Education content includes full courses, course materials, modules, intervention descriptions, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge.
InterventionPrescription	This entity represents a formal prescription of an instructional approach focusing on the specific techniques and materials used to teach a given subject. This can be prescribed by academic research, an interventions vendor, or another entity.
Intervention	An implementation of an instructional approach focusing on the specific techniques and materials used to teach a given subject.
InterventionStudy	An experimental or quasi-experimental study of an intervention technique.
StudentInterventionAssociation	This association indicates the students participating in an intervention.
EducationOrganizationInterventionPrescriptionAssociation	This association indicates interventions made available by an education organization. Often, a district-level education organization purchases a set of intervention prescriptions and makes them available to its schools for use on demand.
