1. Scaling-Up Within a Statewide Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) SPDG National Meeting miblsi.cenmi.org

2. Project Structure

3. What is MiBLSi? A statewide structure to create capacity for an integrated Behavior and Reading Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) that can be implemented with fidelity, is sustainable over time and utilizes data-based decision making at all levels of implementation support

4. Emphasis of MiBLSi Work Over Time Focus on providing direct PD and TA to Implementers (Team Training, Focus Training) Focus on providing direct PD and TA to Implementers (Team Training, Focus Training) MiBLSi develop capacity for project implementation Focus on providing direct PD and TA to Implementers (Team Training, Focus Training) MiBLSi develop regional capacity for MiBLSi regional implementation Focus on providing direct PD and TA to Implementers and cascading levels of support MiBLSi develop local capacity for LEA/ISD implementation Focus on providing direct PD and TA to cascading levels of support LEA/ISD develop local capacity for LEA/ISD implementation 2003 2005 2007 2010 2017

5. Transformation Zone = “Zone of Discomfort”

6. Logic of MiBLSi • Emphasis is on developing local implementation capacity • Partnership between ISD and Local School District focuses on shared ownership and accountability around implementation of an integrated MTSS model • Schools/Districts will be supported through stages of implementation rather than through a training sequence • Goal: Schools/Districts implement MTSS practices with fidelity supported by infrastructure the promotes continuous improvement and sustainability

7. Two Categories of Work • Access to Effective Practices • Ensuring that students (staff) have access to effective practices in an integrated behavior and reading Multi-Tiered System of Supports • Practices are selected based on: Need, Fit, Resource Availability, Evidence, Readiness for Replication, Capacity to Implement • Support for the Practices • Ensuring that the interventions are implemented correctly with the “right people”, at the “right time”, in the “right amounts” (Implementation Fidelity)

8. Environmental Factors MiBLSi Value-Added Work System Political Regulatory/Legal Economy Geography Society/Culture Receivers Determine worth Stakeholders/Funders Management/Coordination Resources • Investments: • Funding • Visibility • Political support Capital People Materials Information • Returns: • Addressing critical issues (Discipline/Ethnicity) • Addressing program directives (State Performance Plan) Work Systems: Providing the MTSS practices and the supports for the these practices to take place successfully within schools and districts Consumers schools, districts, ISDs/RESAs Professional Learning Technical Assistance Valued MTSS Products/ Services Evaluation Financial Priority, Plan, Formative Assessment, Continuous Improvement, Risk Management
