This handout provides an overview of three common decision rules educators can use to analyze academic progress monitoring data. These options include the four-point analysis method, trend line analysis method, and median of the last three data points method.
This handout provides a summary of key tips and strategies for effective trainings. Use this list to plan evidence-based trainings that use adult-learning principles.
Progress monitoring is the repeated measurement of student performance using tools with strong reliability and validity to assess a student's performance, quantify a student's rate of improvement or responsiveness to instruction or intervention and to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. This infographic summarizes key features of progress monitoring tools and the progress monitoring processes, as well as ways to analyze growth.
Data-based decision making (DBDM) is the use of data to make decisions that benefit students. It occurs at all levels of MTSS implementation, from individual students to the district level. This infographic illustrates DBDM using the problem solving model, provides examples of how teams use data within MTSS and provides tips for data use.
Infrastructure is the support mechanisms, knowledge, resources, and organizational structures necessary to operationalize and implement MTSS. With effective infrastructure, sites can implement a unified system to meet their outcome goals. This infographic highlights the key infrastructure elements to support MTSS implementation.
This resource provides clarity on MTSS and its essential components. Within this document, we define MTSS and discuss each component of MTSS. The information is intended to provide educators with guidance for MTSS implementation that reflects research and evidence-based practices.
Need a process to support individual students? Use this flipbook to remind your team which steps to follow as you apply data-based decision making to the needs of individual students. The flipbook reviews the step of the problem solving model for individual student problem-solving. The model includes problem identification, problem analysis, plan identification and implementation, and plan evaluation.
During problem analysis, educators gather information on instruction, curriculum, and the environment to determine how it supports learners. Use this infographic to identify variables to measure and resources to support assessment.
When assessing a student's need for intervention, it can be helpful to determine where their skills are within the instructional hierarchy. This infographic illustrates the 4 main stages of the instructional hierarchy (acquisition, fluency, generalization, adaptation) and can be used as a quick reference.
Tier 1 includes high-quality, schoolwide academic, social, emotional, and behavioral programming and supports designed to meet the needs of all students. This infographic details the essential features of effective Tier 1 instruction.
