Evaluation of MTSS requires attention to the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of specific practices (e.g., interventions, assessment tools, teaming processes, documentation procedures), as well to the systemwide implementation of the four essential components of an MTSS. This tip sheet outlines tips and questions to guide schools use of evaluation. Evaluation occurs throughout the planning and implementation processes and is used to guide ongoing decisions, including decisions related to instructional design and delivery, resource allocation, staffing, professional learning, tool selection, and continuous improvement.
