Data entry
• Once you have reviewed both files (excel data entry sheet & word document directions sheet), you’re ready to begin data entry!
• Tip: You can begin data entry as soon as possible and enter in as much student data that you have • This way, at the end of the school year you only need to enter the
total number of sessions, exiting information, and new intervention information (if applicable)
Sample
Potential problems/concerns
• Make sure you’re using the excel file sent as an attachment in your email• Do NOT include any non-numerical characters in the student information
columns (e.g., State ID number: #0001093201 – the # should not be included)• Note: Excel will automatically remove an ‘0s’ at the beginning of a student or
school code – this is okay! We can still determine the student/school ID number if it is less than 10 digits and will assume the first digits should be ‘0’
• Please only include RTA students in the data file (i.e., not all students in your grade/school)
What if…?
• If the student receives multiple intervention programs (simultaneously) from the RTA intervention teacher?• Please record the PRIMARY intervention provided by the RTA
funded teacher
• If a student exited RTA intervention in the winter, but re-entered in the spring?• Complete two separate entries (i.e., two rows for that student)
containing their original entry date (e.g., 08/08/2013) and their “re-entry date (e.g., 03/17/14)
Questions

Summer Slide
The best predictor of summer loss or summer gain is whether or not a
child reads during the summer. And the best predictor of whether a
child reads is whether or not he or she owns books.
