Kansas Multi-Tiered System of Support Slide 2 Curriculum Assessment Instruction Slide 3 Dr. Alexa Posny Kansas Commissioner of Education http://www.kansasmtss.org/ Slide 4 What is MTSS? A coherent continuum of evidence based, system-wide practices to support a rapid response to academic and behavioral needs with frequent data-based monitoring for instructional decision making to empower each Kansas student to achieve high standards. Slide 5 The Big BIG Idea of MTSS 1.Decide what is important 1.Decide what is important for students to know 2.Teach what is important 2.Teach what is important for students to know 3.Keep track 3.Keep track of how students are doing 4.Make changes 4.Make changes according to the results you collect Dave Tilly, Heartland AEA; 2005 Slide 6 Shift in Thinking Change in How Our System Responds From.To.. StudentWhich students need help? What help does each student need?

System Level Slide 11 Core Beliefs of MTSS Every child learns and achieves to high standards Learning includes academic and social competencies Every member of the education community continues to grow, learn and reflect Every leader at all levels are responsible for every student Change is intentional, coherent and dynamic Slide 12 How to Achieve Core Beliefs Every child will be provided a rigorous and research-based curriculum Every child will be provided effective and relentless teaching Interventions will be provided at the earliest identification of need Policy will be based on evidence based practice Every educator will continuously gain knowledge and develop expertise to build capacity and sustain effective practice Slide 13 How to Achieve Core Beliefs Resources will be intentionally designed and redesigned to match student needs Every leader will be responsible for planning, implementing and evaluating Academic and behavioral data will be used to inform instructional decisions Educators, families and community members will be part of the fundamental practice of effective problem-solving and instructional decision making An empowering culture creates collective responsibility for student success Slide 14 Translation: What are you thinking about? At your table, select one of the core beliefs and translate what this makes you think about..

What types of applications activities are necessary in order for her to generalize a new skill? Slide 51 When to change an intervention.. Scenario: Nelly So far, Nellys progress monitoring data suggest that the intervention being provided is not a match for Nelly. While she has made some progress, it is not sufficient. Something needs to be changed. This graph does not show us when/what changes have been made in her intervention. Graphs are most helpful when they are messy!! Slide 52 Tier 3 PBS Data for Decision Making Slide 53 Based on Functional Assessment When Jack is given a request, he becomes verbally aggressive, escalates and walks out in order to escape the demand of an authority.

Why? What are our ideas? What did we decide to do? Hows it working? Problem-Solving Process Slide 61 Shift in Thinking Change in How Our System Responds From.To.. StudentWhich students need help? What help does each student need? Adapted from Dan Reschly, 2002 Slide 62 Getting to What Help is Needed From GEI or SIT Separate process Who Isolation Focus on entitlement To. Customized plan Integrated process What Collaboration Focus on instruction Slide 63 What if an exceptionality is suspected? The outcome of the processes to be followed is the same: Do you now have a further customized plan? Can you describe the what to do next?
