Agenda for Today
Consider MTSS - Overview– Connection to Resources– Connection to Elementary/Middle/High -
What we Know
Tiers and Technology– Structuring technology considerations– Technology-based solutions

MTSS Primer
MTSS stands for?
There are _____ tiers?
Three critical features of MTSS include:
1. ___
2. ___
3. ___
6
Three Models (Uses) of MTSS
Prediction & Prevention– prediction of at-risk students and preventing students from
falling behind
Remediation– intervention for students with academic or behavioral
difficulties
Disability Assessment– an intensive intervention test that is one component in the
SLD determination process
7
Critical Elements of MTSS
Implementation of a differentiated curriculum with different instructional methods
Two or more tiers of increasingly intense, scientific, research-based interventions
8
Critical Elements of MTSS
Individual problem-solving model or standardized intervention protocol for intervention tiers (possibly in combination)
Progress monitoring to assess entire class progress and individual student progress
Explicit decision rules for assessing learners’ progress (e.g., level and/or rate)
9
What Does MTSS Implementation Look Like?
Students receive high-quality, research-based instruction by qualified staff in their general education setting (primary intervention)
General education instructors and staff assume an active role in students’ assessment in that curriculum
School staff conduct universal screening of (a) academics and (b) behavior (> 1/yr)
School staff implement specific, research-based interventions to address the students’ difficulties
10
Core of MTSS
Please list three research-based practices that you use across the course of a week?– Describe it?– How do you know it is evidence-based?
11
Do we Teach to Learning Styles?
What Type of Learner Are You?I like to:– Hear it…– See it…– Touch it…– Read it…– Experience it…
What is your Learning Style?
12
Learning Styles - Research-based?
Structure experiences based on the type of learner we believe our students to be…– Offer more visual experiences because we have a
class of visual learners…– Hands-on experiences for those tactile learners…– Auditory experiences for those that learn best
through listening…
Examples?

Seven Effective Instructional Practices
The Final Report of the National Mathematics Advisory
Panel (National Mathematics Advisory Panel, 2008)
19
Recommendation 1
Teach students using explicit instruction on a regular basis.– Clear modeling of the solutions specific to the problem
– Thinking the specific steps aloud during modeling
– Presenting multiple examples of the problem and applying the solution to the problems, and
– Providing immediate corrective feedback to the students on their accuracy
20
Recommendation 2
Teach students using multiple instructional examples– For example, fractions and algebraic
equations can be taught first with concrete examples, then with pictorial representations, and finally in an abstract manner.
21
Recommendation 3
Have students verbalize decisions and solutions to a math problem– Verbalize specific steps– Think outloud
22
Recommendation 4
Teach students to visually represent the information in the math problem.– Visual combined with explicit instruction– Visuals for a specific problem– Teacher and the student uses the visual
23
Recommendation 5
Teach students to solve problems using multiple/heuristic strategies.– Exemplifies a generic approach for solving
a problem• Read the problem• Highlight the key words• Solve the problems• Check your work
24
Recommendation 6
Provide ongoing formative assessment data and feedback to teachers.– Progress– Suggestions to alter instruction
25
Recommendation 7
Provide peer-assisted instruction to students– Cross age peer tutoring is more effective – Within class fall short of the level of
explicitness necessary to effectively help students with learning challenges progress.
26
Recommendation - MTSS
Interventions should include instruction on solving word problems that is based on common underlying structures.– Explicit– Systematic– Connections between known, familiar word
problems and unfamiliar, new problems.
27
Recommendation - MTSS
Teach students about the structure of various problem types, how to categorize problems based on structure, and how to determine appropriate solutions for each problem type.
28
Recommendations - MTSS
Intervention materials should include opportunities for students to work with visual representations of mathematical ideas and interventionists should be proficient in the use of visual representation of mathematical ideas.

KSBE Goal/Objectives:
Helping all students meet or exceed academic standards– Designing/Redesigning the educational system
to meet our students’ changing needs• Intervening early – Disabled or Disadvantaged
– Proving an effective teachers in every classroom
– Providing visionary leaders– Improving communication with all groups
