Multi-Tiered System of Support Data Teams and TIPS Processes
Objectives • Participants will understand the MTSS process including the steps utilized to review universal screening and progress monitoring data • Participants will be able use the problem-solving process to support student needs
Current Processes How do you currently: • determine those students who need interventions and progress monitoring, • determine those students who are supported by a PEP, • complete the PEP paperwork (include the form used), and • complete Individual student problem solving (who is on the team, how often does it meet, etc.)?
Goals of MTSS • Being prevention oriented: knowing who needs support as early as possible each year and putting those supports in place • Implementing evidence-based interventions for all students and tailoring interventions based on student’s needs • Using progress monitoring data to know when to make a change in instruction
Universal screening or progress monitoring data indicates student is at risk for developing difficulties and may need additional supports
Data team meets to determine specific areas of need for groups of students and intervention to support student
Intervention is implemented. Strategic or progress monitoring is completed by the interventionist. Parent letter is sent home and signed.
Data is reviewed after 6 to 10 weeks of intervention implementation
