RIDE has released an updated Early Warning System (EWS) to help educators identify and intervene with 6th-12th grade students at risk of not graduating from high school.
The tool was originally created in collaboration with The Policy Lab at Brown University and DataSpark. Like the original, the 2021-22 updated tool provides student-level data and profile reports complete with color-coded "risk bands" designed to provide actionable data as well as links to educator resources to support students in targeted ways. A sample view of the dashboard is below. Filter functions allow for drilling into the data by subgroups and by each indicator. Educators with RIDE Single Sign On (SSO) credentials can log in and request access from their Data Manager to see their dashboard. Anyone who would like to learn more can access the links below.

While the tool is only available to Rhode Island educators and administrators with RIDEmap credentials (login to RIDEmap), all affiliated resources are available to everyone on this page and will be updated regularly.
Learn more with the following EWS User Guide.
Educator Resources (by indicator)
For the 2021-2022 updated Early Warning System (EWS), resources were selected to provide additional tools for educators to leverage, as needed, and to provide targeted supports based on a student's demonstrated "at risk" indicators (identified on the user's "student dashboard"). Resources provided below are:
- Research-based or evidence-based wherever possible;
- Largely based on existing resources from RIDE; and
- Prioritized based on resources that are easily clickable and/or PDF-ready.
MTSS Rhode Island is a dedicated site to support educators with the implementation of a multi-tiered system of support. Training modules can be accessed through a free account and will provide educators with a certificate towards PLUs.
Through a continued phased rollout, RIDE will be adding more resources. If you have resources that you would like to see included, please send it to OCCR@ride.ri.gov.
