  2. The Virginia Tiered System of Supports (VTSS) is a multi-tiered framework for working with students that uses evidence-based practices and progress monitoring to improve academic and behavioral outcomes. • An educational reform and systems change initiative designed and implemented to improve instruction for all students • VTSS represents an integration of Response to Intervention and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.

  3. TA01 REQUIRED - The school uses an identification process for all students at risk of failing or in need of targeted interventions. (2931) • TA02 REQUIRED - The school uses a tiered, differentiated intervention process to assign research- based interventions aligned with the individual needs of identified students (the process includes a description of how interventions are selected and assigned to students as well as the frequency and duration of interventions for Tier 2 and Tier 3 students). (2932) • TA03 REQUIRED - The school uses a monitoring process (including a multidisciplinary team that meets regularly to review student intervention outcome data and identifies “triggers” and next steps for unsuccessful interventions) for targeted intervention students to ensure fidelity and effectiveness. (2933) Indistar Indicators for School Improvement - Required Indicators:

(2933) VTSS - Identify, understand and clearly define needs VTSS - Careful matching of needs to a continuum of effective evidence-based interventions Indistar Indicators for School Improvement - Required Indicators: VTSS Progress Monitoring - informed decisions for increasing/fading supports to ensure that students respond to interventions in a timely manner

CONTINUUM OF INSTRUCTIONAL & POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT Decision Rules for Access to Supports Division and school multidisciplinary team Data-driven decisions Monitor outcome (effectiveness) and process (fidelity) 3-tiered framework Match interventions to needs of identified students and hypothesized causes Some few ALL

  8. PBIS is a data-driven decision making frameworkfor establishing the social culture and behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for all students. Increase Effectiveness and Efficiency Remember … Process for Continuous Improvement (OSEP Center on PBIS, 2010)

  9. RTI is a data-driven decision making frameworkfor establishing the academic supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment for all students. Increase Effectiveness and Efficiency Remember … Process for Continuous Improvement (SEP Center on PBIS, 2010)

  10. VTSS is a data-driven decision making approachfor establishing the academicand behavioral supports needed for a school to be an effective learning environment (academic and behavior) for all students. Increase Effectiveness and Efficiency Process for Continuous Improvement ,

  11. Integration of Academic Instruction and Student Behavior • What are the evidence-based instructional strategies that will attain the academic skill set? • What academic engagement behaviors will be necessary to translate the academic skill into academic performance? • What social/emotional behaviors are resources and obstacles to the skill and performance goals? • How will we match the instructional strategies with engagement factors?
