name	intervention-select
description	Match a tiered intervention to a documented student need at a specified MTSS tier (1/2/3). Use this atom when intervention-mtss needs to suggest evidence-based interventions. Do NOT fabricate intervention program names or research citations.

intervention-select

Suggests an evidence-based intervention matched to a student need and MTSS tier, with implementation notes (frequency, duration, group size). Never fabricates program names or citations.

Read first — boundaries (security/SECURITY_AND_SAFETY.md §2, §5). An intervention match is decision support for the MTSS or problem-solving team, not a placement, a tier assignment, or an eligibility determination — MTSS is not special-education eligibility, and a tier-3 match here neither implies nor initiates a referral. It must be validated against the actual district-adopted programs available to that student and against local policy. Program names and research citations are never fabricated: return an honest gap instead of a plausible-sounding program (protocol-layer/standards-verification.md). Never request, infer, or include real student data — placeholders only.

Input

{
  "need": "below grade level in reading fluency",
  "tier": 2,
  "grade": "3",
  "subject": "Reading"
}

Output

{
  "tool": "intervention-select",
  "intervention": {
    "approach": "Repeated reading with corrective feedback",
    "tier": 2,
    "frequency": "3x per week, 20 minutes",
    "group_size": "3-5 students",
    "duration_weeks": "8-12 weeks before review",
    "evidence_note": "Repeated reading is supported by the What Works Clearinghouse for improving fluency in elementary grades",
    "progress_monitoring": "ORF probes biweekly"
  },
  "human_review_required": true
}

Do NOT use this atom for

• Fabricating specific program names or research citations
• Tier 3 interventions without IEP team involvement
• Replacing MTSS team decision-making
• Using real student data

Pipeline note

Follows references/method.md at the Generation step (intervention matching). Output conforms to references/metadata-schema.md. human_review_required: true — intervention selection must be confirmed by the MTSS/IEP team.
