Multi-Tiered System of Instruction and Intervention

• High quality and standards-aligned curriculum and instruction and safe, supportive learning environments– Three tiered system for academics and behavior– Evidence-based instruction and intervention

• Flexible staffing – Meet needs of students based on student data

Multi-Tiered System of Instruction and Intervention

• Grade-level (teaching teams) teams – Comprised of regular education, interventionists,

support staff– Responsible for instruction and instructional

decision making• Supplemental and intensive grouping of

students is linked to intensity of student needs– More intense: smaller group size, more time,

highly trained educator

Self Assessment and Implementation Tool Multi-Tiered Systems and Support

• Review Leadership Teams and System Processesand Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

• Have a brief conversation at your table about these components.

Assessment and Data-based Decision Making

• Comprehensive assessment system– Universal screening – Diagnostic/Functional behavior assessment– Progress monitoring– Reliable and valid– Measure all essential components of academics

and behavior

Assessment and Data-based Decision Making

• Data management system– Reports for:• Ease of use• Clear communication and decision making• Graphical representation of student performance and

progress

Assessment and Data-Based Decision Making

• System capacity– Universal screening 3x/year– Discipline referrals– Use of documented decision rules– Progress monitoring data across the tiers

• Decision rules are documented and clear– Access to supports– Changing supports– Intensifying supports– Exiting supports

• Problem solving process is used for continuous improvement at all levels

Problem Solving Framework

1. Problem Identification- What’s the problem?

2. Problem Analysis-Why is it occurring?

3. Intervention Design/Implementation-

What are we going to do about it?
