frequent data based monitoring

for instructional

decision-making

to

empower

each Kansas student to achieve high standards.

Goals of MTSS

• • Use school

resources

in ways that help figure out what it takes for each child to be successful

Prevention

support early each year and putting supports in place oriented: knowing who needs • Implementing evidence

interventions

for all students tailoring interventions based on a student’s needs • Using

progress monitoring

to make a change with efforts data to know when

Tier 1

• All students • Evidence-based core curriculum and instruction • Assessment system and data-based decision making

Tier 2

• Supplemental targeted skill interventions • Small groups • Frequent progress monitoring to guide intervention design (every other week)

Tier 3

• More intense supplemental targeted skill interventions • Customized interventions • Frequent progress monitoring to guide intervention design (weekly)

Special Ed is a last resort not a first response.
