4. WCPSS Vision of MTSS
A systemic multi-tiered instructional framework that guides instruction and intervention that is matched to student need.

5. Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS)
Are students responding to intervention?
Did they meet the established target goal?
Is their ROI acceptable?
Has their ROI fallen below expectations more than 3 times?
What do we need to adjust?
Frequency
Duration
Intensity
Group Size
Does the focus match the data?
PLT may refer student to Tier III after at least one adjustment to instruction.
What patterns/trends does the data demonstrate?
Does this data align with other data that we have for these students?
What additional data do we need?
Who are others needed to collaborate at PLTs?
Why is the problem occurring?
Instruction
Curriculum
Environment
Learner
Who will provide interventions?
What is the frequency & duration?
What materials are needed?
Set short term & long term goals.

6. Core: Tier 1 Who: All students are in Tier 1 (Core)
What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to produce good outcomes for the majority of students

(approx. 20% of students)
