Synergy MTSS Module
Creating a Behavior Intervention Plan
Type
“MTSS plans” in the Quick Launch search bar.
Lets get started in Synergy MTSS
The menu tabs on the left of the MTSS Plan screen takes us through Part I of process in order.
Setting up a complete behavior intervention plan begins with the MTSS Plan tab through the Area of Concern tab in this section. Part II continues by creating a progress monitoring plan in the CICO area.
The SIT Facilitator goes through the following steps prior to the SIT Meeting
Type a plan name: SIT Tier II Behavior or Tier III Behavior
Select either Tier II or Tier III Plan Type
“Created by” will default to the person entering information. Change if needed.
Enter the name of the person responsible for the academic intervention.
TAB 1: MTSS Plan
Enter the date intervention will start. It can be backdated if needed. The End Date will enter based on plan length, or can be custom entered.
Add Students: If multiple students have the same function of behavior and will be in an intervention together, they may be added here as a group.
Recommended Plan Length for behavior intervention is 8 weeks.

TAB 6: Area of Concern (con’t.)
Enter the student’s behavior goal.
The process of identifying the intervention and setting up our record-keeping process is complete.
Now we need to set up the progress monitoring system.
This is in the CICO section of the MTSS Module.
Type
“CICO” in the Quick Launch search bar.
NOTE: This progress monitors ALL behavior interventions that require multiple data points per day (not just Check-In Check-Out)
Click on Enrollment then Enroll
Search for the student by:
1. 80% is always the goal
3. All Tier II behavior goals are tied to all schoolwide values. Your schoolwide values will auto populate here.
2. Choose the intervention/s agreed upon during the SIT meeting.
5. End Date will always end 8 weeks after start date.
This can be extended in the future if needed.
4. Date will auto-populate to entry date. You can backdate if needed.
6. Click to save
If the intervention intervals are aligned with the school’s bell schedule, then you are done! If the intervals are not aligned with the bell schedule, take the following steps:
1. Click Schedule
2. Delete what is already below the grey section by clicking the trash can.
3. Write the intervals one by one (times or subjects) in the Add Custom Entry field.
The Permissions field is where you can grant access to people who should have progress monitoring access. This defaults to the classroom teacher (K-5) and the period teacher (6-12).
4. Click Save
You have now completed setting up a behavior intervention by completing the first six tabs in MTSS Plan and setting up Progress Monitoring in CICO.
