Our district used the SIP (student intervention process) which was handled by the guidance counselor who did not have training in the area, yet made it work for our school. We moved to MTSS last year and this was handed over to the assistant principal again with no formal training. She is currently doing her best to make it work and is working closely with the school psychologist. At this time she just feels like there is so much more that students and teachers could benefit from if there was proper training and true understanding of the process.

# data[].attributes.body
We are in the beginning stages of awareness and implementation. A universal screener is in place. Looking and evaluating data. As placing students in Tier II and Tier III groups. Continuing to grow.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a good foundation, but need some more consistent universal assessments/intervention/paperwork.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a process. Communication of the process for consistency is challenging.

Implementation-new to my school-teachers lost Reading Recovery teachers to the classrooms.  It has been a struggle getting teachers to wrap their brains around MTSS. However, we are moving forward slowly.  A need would be how to push teacher to collect the data by progress monitoring.

# data[].attributes.body
Our need is having specific interventions at the classroom level.

Also, our interventions do not neatly align to the definitions of the Tiers provided by the SCDE.

# data[].attributes.body
Weakness: MTSS and RtI were previously handled by our guidance counselor that did not have much experience with the process. There is a definite lack of knowledge throughout the school with implementation,  research-based strategies, and data- collection/ analyzing. Strength: my position, MTSS coordinator, was create this year, and it has been beneficial in helping fill in the knowledge gaps. We have held PD on the complete process, and that helped teachers with the implementation process.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel we are becoming more aware of the MTSS framework and how our school can effectively implement all aspects to benefit students and staff.

# data[].attributes.body
Our district needs a common language and vision for MTSS. We currently have many schools who have some "form" of MTSS with varying levels of effectiveness. A reset is needed.

# data[].attributes.body
We have built awareness around MTSS but there are still some misconceptions. We currently have universal screeners but are working toward better common formative assessments. In terms of evaluation, we do not yet have a committee but work in PLCs with grade level teams with additional support staff and admin to analyze data. Interventions are somewhat clearly assigned to each Tier (more so reading than math) but that is relatively new.

# data[].attributes.body
We know for our district we have a strong need to establish systemic processes and beliefs.

# data[].attributes.headline
One of our strengths is having implementation teams set up at each school and at the district level. One weakness we have is time within schedules for the teams to do the work consistently. That is a barrier for us at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
We are re-evaluating practices and trying to ensure that best practices aren’t isolated at schools. Looking to build a systematic approach for the district.

# data[].attributes.body
Blessed to have multiple interventionists serving students; still working on establishing protocols/structures for MTSS

Overall frameworks +, individual monitoring needs work

Overall frameworks +, individual monitoring needs work

# data[].attributes.body
Each school has frameworks outlining academic, behavior, and attendance tiers of support and who is responsible for interventions at each. In our larger schools, however, it’s been a work in progress to get an effective monitoring system in place.

# data[].attributes.body
Strength: awareness
Weakness: implementation

# data[].attributes.body
Weaknesses- universal screeners, consistent evaluation,

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluation

# data[].attributes.body
We are strongest in Awareness and Evaluation. We have universal screeners in place. We are weakest in implementation as far as having a variety of interventions in place for students in all tiers.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths - follow-through on teacher/staff concerns
Area to improve - coming up with varied strategies to meet all students needs

# data[].attributes.body
Overall in elementary.
Secondary is more implementation.

We are between evaluation and implementation.

We are between evaluation and implementation. We are currently revamping processes and have pilot schools who will test out system wide approaches while our other schools continue with current practices.

Implementation & Re-evaluation- MTSS implementation started in 2011 in our district’s elementary schools.

Although district office has pushed out MTSS, many teachers, when asked, do not know what it is.

# data[].attributes.headline
Weakness: Many veteran teachers are hesitant to buy in to this system as a means of supporting children, viewing it exclusively as a means to test children for IDEA.   Strength: we have many teachers adopting progress monitoring tools that have been shared.

In our district we are making headway with awareness with our leadership and MTSS teams. We need to work on ensuring EVERY teacher district wide has the same information as our leaders (district, school admins, coaches)

# data[].attributes.body
Area of reinforcement: Implementation (4 rounds of RTI, progress monitoring every 2 weeks

Refinement- More teacher “buy-in” and awareness of RTI process

Our district is somewhere in between Evaluation and Implementation. We have some schools who are fully implemented and others who are evaluating. Everyone is growing.
