Last year, I had the privilege of sitting in on RGE's MTSS process.  There was a similar concern that was raised at the meetings.  The concern was there was a lack of knowledge with some grade levels/teachers regarding data as well as a concern that intervention strategies were not connected to student need.

In speaking with my administrator and the assistant principal that was leaving, the need to streamline the MTSS process existed.  The district members present on the committee drove the MTSS process.  The goal this year is for Rogers Garden Elementary to be the driver of these meetings.  Myself in connection with my administrator and the new behavioral specialist/MTSS Chair are working collaboratively to make this happen.

The infrastructure is being built from the ground up.  As the Administrative Intern, I am sitting on the CORE meetings as well as the MTSS meetings to bridge and foster effective communication.

Through collaboration with Amy, the school-based behavioral Specialists/MTSS Chair, we got to work.  The journey was some days frustrating trying to find answers and be turned in circles for answers.  Attempting to locate pieces of information and ensure that we wer...

Here is the question I posed ... Part of my project has been to support the foundation of MTSS. I am logging the progress and would be interested in your feedback.   Think of last year compared to this year.  Please reflect on anything that has improved, diminished, or stayed the same and if you have any further concerns or suggestions that you would like to see with the future of RGE MTSS.   The feedback is in ... My mentor, Ann ...writes: The MTSS and PBS process has improved tremendously since last year.    There is a process that is consistent and understood by all.   The meeting dates, times, and coverage has been scheduled throughout the year.   The stress level for teacher involvement has decreased and their knowledge about the process, including knowing how to talk about student interventions verses programs has also improved.   Specific areas have been identified for growth in the coming year, but the areas of growth ...
