Train the MTSS chair with the intervention programs available to the grade bands at their school. That will help MTSS teams make more informed decisions when selecting tier II and tier III academic interventions.

Teachers need to be trained; both in person and mandatory asynchronous training on CANVAS. Sessions should be offered on systemic PD days. Training should cover the process and the forms.

Teachers do not know how to collect student data. We should have a bank of MTSS data collection forms to choose from so we help them be prepared for meeting with appropriate data.... They would do better if they knew better. Teachers need training on data collection. Period.

Allowing SWST members (counselor and social workers) to chair SSTs (or at least being the sole chair). With the behavioral challenges increasing across city schools, there is little to no time for SST. Sadly, when crisis arise, SST responsibilities may not be the priority (specifically for non-behavioral plans).

# data[].attributes.body
It would be helpful if administrators understood the importance of the SST team and would dedicate specific individuals to serve on a standing team. My school has no team, no case manager/monitor and only meets if needed with only me as the social worker, the AP, teacher and occasionally, the parent.

# data[].attributes.body
Include a BOY mandatory SST Training for teachers to get a better buy in. In addition, a MOY refresher would also be helpful with ensuring that the interventions are clear and that teachers understand why and how this impacts students. It will also support efforts for students being considered for retention.

Now, most don't right out refuse, but the low quality of documents submitted are just not suffice... missing dates on student work. We need pre-created forms to support them with the process. 3 forms (attendance, behavior, academics)... that way data collection is not confusing...

# data[].attributes.body
Provide explicit directions for each required tab on the referral (digitaly in the referral, like a floating box). Include Help tabs that include definitions and possible examples of required information. Possibly removing the stop wall that prevents further input until required information is submitted, as this barrier prevents user continuation of inputing other relative information. -Stephanie Woodson

wishing the meeting summary form was native to IC so we do not have to do another additional step. also the blue form, while better than yellow, still needs to be simplified.

It would be helpful to be able to print out the information that the teachers enter into Infinite Campus as a form. None of the information for the boxes they check prints out. I use the referral info in IC to provide information to the MTSS during our scheduled meetings.

The information on the referral in IC is repeated on the document that they upload with it. That extra step is annoying for teachers and (as ridiculous as it is) a reason teachers don't want to refer students. They think it's a lot of work. Maybe if they just selected the area of referral (attendance, behavior, or academics) and check off they have already contacted the parent and uploaded the document.

Can we update these so they are more user friendly? Google Docs maybe? Every time I try to copy and paste or edit a block in the document the formatting messes up. I've fallen behind on plans sometimes due to the issues I have with the document and I'm pretty tech savvy so it's a little frustrating
