Team Based Leadership
Collaborative teams who use an inquiry process to identify challenges, come up with strategies to address those challenges, and use data to monitor progress along the way are essential to improving outcomes for all students.
Evidence-Based Instruction
MTSS comes into direct contact with student learning by using a systematic approach to improving core instruction and building consistency between classrooms. Collaborative teams deliberately select specific evidence-based strategies targeted for improvement. Implementation is monitored through data collection to identify areas of instructional strength and improvement.
Evidence-based instruction also includes the utilization of high quality instructional materials.
Proactive Continuum of Supports
An MTSS framework addressed the unique needs of each child through collaboration and a proactive continuum of support for all students across all domains (academic and non-academic).
Multi-level Instruction
Tier I: Core curriculum, research-based curriculum materials, articulation of teaching and learning, differentiated instruction, standards-based curriculum has stretch for those exceeding benchmark
Tier II: Evidence-based intervention, complements the core instruction, taught by well-trained staff with fidelity in addition to Tier I
Tier III: Interventions are based on student need and has a relationship to Tier 1, taught by well-trained staff
