Supporting high-quality standards and research-based, culturally and linguistically relevant instruction with the belief that every student can learn including students of poverty, students with disabilities, English learners, and students from all ethnicities evident in the school and district cultures.

I chose this quote because I firmly believe that, as educators, it is crucial to recognize that students from disadvantaged backgrounds may seem less capable at first, not because they lack potential, but because they might not have the same level of academic preparation as their peers. These students often face challenges outside of their control, such as limited exposure to early learning opportunities or a lack of support at home. For example, some may come from families where parents were unable to read to them or from households where factors like immigration or socioeconomic struggles made education less accessible. It is our responsibility to provide the support and encouragement they need to overcome these barriers and succeed.

“Challenging all school staff to change the way in which they have traditionally worked across all school settings.”

“MTSS offers the potential to create needed systematic change through intentional design and redesign of services and supports that quickly identify and match the needs of all students.”

“Implementing a collaborative approach to analyze student data and working together in the intervention process.”

I chose this quote because my experience, particularly that of this current term, has been that struggling students can only be helped effectively by collaborating, and because I have also witnessed how vital data analysis is - whether it be academic or behavioral - in formulating a plan that will best help such students.

Challenging all school staff to change the way in which they have traditionally worked across all school settings.

I chose this quote because, in a classroom setting, we adapt to our students and learn to teach Culturally Responsive. As teachers, we get to know our students' likes and dislikes and their needs. This quote challenges all school staff to change their work habits. School staff should also have professional development days to bring them up to date on being culturally responsive and teaching all school staff to be inclusive and understanding of the needs of their students.

“Implementing a collaborative approach to analyze student data and working together in the intervention process”

I choose this because this teamwork approach is essential in creating an environment in which all students are supported. It allows teachers to make data-driven decisions that lead to personalized interventions. This approach ensures that interventions are targeted, effective and continuous.

"In California, MTSS is an integrated, comprehensive framework that focuses on CCSS, core instruction, differentiated learning, student-centered learning, individualized student needs, and the alignment of systems necessary for all students’ academic, behavioral, and social success."

"Systematically addressing support for all students, including gifted and high achievers."

"Seeking and implementing appropriate research-based interventions for improving student learning."

I chose this section because I think that there is amble research that will support students’ needs, however, often because it means changing our systems and behaviors we are reluctant to take on something new. I am glad to see this as a point on the list as part of what MTSS encompasses.
