Developing a protocol for what occurs inside the mathematics classroom district-wide allows for greater cohesion across grade-levels and throughout the entire district. Does your system have a protocol for teachers to understand the expectations for instruction, intervention and assessment, as well as the decision-making process behind them? Check out the sample protocol documents below.
Implementation protocols ensure consistency in MTSS implementation, clarify expectations for staff actions and collaboration, guide supports for all students, and outline when to contact families. Protocols drive cohesion so that all students receive the same level of high-quality instruction that aligns with standards (PreK-12), utilizes evidence-based instructional strategies and practices, and ensures vertical and horizontal alignment of instruction as students progress from grade to grade within the same school, and navigate between various schools and levels within a district.
