Addressing Academic and Behavioral Needs Proactively
We strive to improve education outcomes for all students. MTSS is a proactive, multi-tiered approach to address academic and behavioral needs whether a child is working below grade level, at grade level or above grade level. There are four components to the MTSS framework:
screening
progress monitoring
a multi-level prevention system
data-based decision making
Monthly meetings give educators the opportunity to make collaborative decisions based on data derived from frequent monitoring of student performance and rate of learning. Plans are created or modified when needed based on the student's response to the instruction and interventions.
The MTSS Team is comprised of a coordinator, principal, grade level teachers, literacy specialist, counselor, resource teacher, and other specialists as needed (nurse, speech therapist, etc.)
