From Identification to Impact: Using EWIMS to Drive Student Success
Friday November 20, 2026 10:15am - 11:30am EST
EWIMS empowers schools to turn data into action—giving staff the right information at the right time to implement meaningful interventions, celebrate student success, and continuously monitor progress. By identifying students early and responding with targeted support, schools can build and refine systems that ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed. 


We implemented the EWIMS process to move from simply identifying students to taking intentional, data-driven action:
  • Established a consistent system to identify students at risk using attendance, behavior, and course performance data (at 20 days and all 4 quarters)
  • Created a bi-weekly progress monitoring cycle to review student data, adjust interventions, and celebrate growth
  • Ensured every student received either support or recognition 
    • Title funds helped support planning, celebrations, and interventions
  • Developed building-wide systems to improve outcomes in attendance, behavior, and academic performance
    • Ex. Attendance building-wide challenges, PBIS reteaching/ celebrations, identifying intervention courses through the DIT MTSS selection process (and hexagon tool)
  • Shifted staff mindset from “identification” to ownership, action, and impact

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will:
  • Describe the EWIMS purpose and process, including identification, data analysis, intervention planning, and progress monitoring.
  • Explain the impact of EWIMS implementation on student achievement, attendance, and behavior.
  • Describe and differentiate progress monitoring practices used to evaluate impact and adjust supports for improved student outcomes. 

  • List and explain decision rules used to determine interventions, tier movement, and responsiveness. Describe progress monitoring practices used to evaluate intervention effectiveness and guide instructional adjustments.
