Harlacher et al. (2014) described the six key principles of the MTSS framework:

All students are capable of grade-level learning with adequate support.

MTSS is rooted in proactivity and prevention.

The system utilizes evidence-based practices.

Decisions and procedures are driven by school and student data.

The degree of support given to students is based on their needs.

Implementation occurs school-wide and requires stakeholder collaboration.

It is the beginning of the year. Where do I start with a student that is already in the MTSS process?

Click here for a visual chart and/or follow the bullet points.

Once you receive the name(s) of your MTSS Students for the new year:

Read the information in the folder on the Google Drive pertaining to the student to familiarize yourself with the need
Talk to the previous teacher
Continue where the previous teacher left off with interventions to the best of your ability
You will be collecting data, tracking, etc as the weeks move on
If you think the child should increase levels in MTSS or Exit MTSS you will need 3 data points (4-8 weeks) to support the change
Data Points may come from BOY, F&P, NWEA Maps, NC Check-ins and possible teacher selected data based on the MTSS goal(s)
Academic Goals - follow the best you can from the previous year, 3 data points (4-8) weeks will be needed to exit a child or move to another level
Behavior Goals - follow the best you can from the previous year, use a behavior tracking chart for data to exit or increase levels

How long does MTSS take? What if I think a student needs to be in MTSS?

Unless an extreme circumstance, request for MTSS need 6 weeks of consistent, documented data points.

MTSS will be different for each student

Interventions are provided for 4-8 weeks at a time, decided during team meeting (4 weeks for new to Tiller students)

Students may receive multiple rounds

It is not unusual for students to spend 1-2 years in MTSS
