Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Team,

Last week all teams had extended planning time to work on upcoming units for instruction.  This is the important work for System One of our Six Systems for a Strong Learning Climate which is to ensure we provide instruction based on  Kentucky Academic Standards.

This week, we will have meetings to review the progress of students previously identified for academic or behavior Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS).  This work supports System Five which is to provide academic and behavioral supports for students, including acceleration and System Four -- progress monitoring and analysis of student work.  Please refer to the schedule Ms. Camp linked to The Living Calendar.  

It is imperative that you bring progress monitoring data and student work samples to support progress made by the student since the last meeting.  The purpose of these meetings is to ...

• Identify students who are in need of additional support/you have concerns about their progress or growth (This was done previously this year unless you are identifying a new student)

• Bring collected data and work samples for identified students to the meeting to discuss progress and next steps with a team. (If you do not have this information -- there is no point coming to the MTSS meeting -- let me know if this is your situation ahead of time) 
• 
  
• For academic students -- this would be progress monitoring data based on interventions such as running records, lessons provided for remediation, skill building results from Study Island, iRead, or other technology programs, etc.
• 
  
• For behavior students -- this would be frequency data, point sheets, evidence of interventions provided and results.

Thank you for your diligence with supporting students.  Please be sure your lesson plans are out on your desk/table and that you are using a daily exit slip that aligns to your learning target for each lesson.

Have a great week, if all certified and classified staff have completed Comprehensive School Surveys and Impact Surveys (certified only) we will NOT have faculty meeting this week.  We will check results Tuesday morning.
