Educators actively engage families in MTSS

While we have streamlined the RTI/MTSS process, and moved from the initial phase to a more advanced phase, we now recognize the needs and benefits of inviting the student's parent(s)/guardian(s) to the meeting to be inclusive, foster shared decision making and actively engage families in their child's academic/behavior progress.  

We have developed a weekly RTI calendar and RTI parent template letter to schedule and invite parent(s)/guardian(s) to attend their child's RTI/MTSS meeting as a way to inform the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the educational support that their child is receiving to bridge the gap between the home-school connection.  

As a school, we have implemented daily intervention groups (LLI, Fundations, Quick Reads, Words Their Way, Super QAR, REWARDS, Lively Letters, I-READY math intervention lesson, GO Math Intensive Intervention lessons,etc.) and weekly RTI/MTSS meetings to provide ongoing support to students in grades K through fifth to remediate literacy and math skills.

The RTI/MTSS team will monitor and disaggregate the intervention data collected and provided from the various small intervention groups to measure the success of each student.

Tier 3 academic practices are based on students' needs, aligned with Tier 1 and Tier 2

While we have several students who are not responding successfully to both the core instruction and the Tier 2 intervention instruction, the RTI/MTSS team deems it necessary to move forward to Tier 3 academic practices that are based on students' needs and aligned to Tier 1 and Tier 2 academic practices before referring students for further evaluation.  

We have scheduled the students who are not responding successfully to the core instruction, Tier 1 and Tier 2 intervention instruction for daily Tier 3 academic practices in an effort to increase the frequency and duration of educational support, prior to requesting further evaluation.  

As a school, we have implemented a process with a checklist for referring students for further evaluation when students do not successfully respond to Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 academic practices.  

The RTI/MTSS team will monitor and disaggregate the Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention data collected and provided from the various small intervention groups to measure the success of each student.  Additonally, the RTI/MTSS team will review and compare the number of students referred for evaluation and staffed in the previous school year in comparison to the current school year.
