Tier I:Instruction & Supports

Tier I: Assessment

Universal screening through use of either spring (NWEA, PARCC) or fall (TRC/DIBELS, mClass Math) assessment measures. SEL screening through pink slip referral process

Progress is monitored toward grade level proficiency through unit summative assessments and performance tasks

Tier II: Instruction & Supports

Instructional interventions are differentiated and scaffolded

Academic and behavior interventions should be evidence based

Tier II: Assessment

Progress is monitored every 5 weeks through a skill-specific measure (e.g. measuring same skills as identified with diagnostic).

Monitoring targeted skills, intervention activities / frequency and progress-monitoring data should be tracked within MTSS Sheet

Tier III: Instruction & Supports

Intensive supports for students with significant and chronic deficits

Increased intensity with small group instruction or one-on-one

Tier III: Assessment

Progress monitored at leas monthly through a skill-specific measure (e.g. measuring same skills as identified with diagnostic).

Monitoring targeted skills, interventions / frequency and progress monitoring data should be tracked within MTSS Sheet
