Universal Screening and Data Review

Universal screening is a structured assessment of all students to identify those needing additional support beyond Tier 1 in academic and social-emotional areas. This process involves a multi-gate procedure to prioritize and provide interventions for students showing externalizing and internalizing behaviors. The team confirmation process helps minimize diagnostic errors, determine system capacity, and triage students based on their needs. Utilizing data from teachers and additional sources, this method ensures a comprehensive support system in schools.

  6. Two Main Purposes of Universal Screening • Structured input process to identify students in need of additional supports beyond Tier 1 • Examine the health and quality of Tier 1 support system

  7. Universal Screening • Produces actionable information to put Tier 2 supports in place

  8. Team Confirmation Process • Reviewing students and reviewing additional data to minimize diagnostic errors • Rule out false positives • Students who were incorrectly identified as in need of additional supports • Rule in false negatives • Students who were incorrectly identified as not in need of additional supports

  9. Determine System Capacity • Who are Tier 2 case mangers? • Who can help get the intervention up and running? • Counselor, school psych, admin, paraprofessional, teacher on special assignment • How many students can you currently serve in the Tier 2 system of supports?

  10. Triage Students • Ranking students from highest to lowest need • Need determined by score on universal screening • Complimentary source of data • Number of teachers who have a concern about the student
