UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT TYPES OF ASSESSMENTS in MTSS
USING SCREENING DATA FOR DECISION-MAKING
Flash player is required. The presentation is divided into sections and you can move through each section as you like.
A part 2 video is available. However, we have not addressed the specifics that are included in the video at this time. You may choose to review it on your own or not at this time.
This document was developed to describe the overview of a practice profile. It is step one in understanding the big picture of this process. See the practice profile activity document below for guidance in developing your own document.
This is a planning document that can be developed for EACH INTERVENTION in practice (or planning for implementation). A team should work together to complete each section.
After our 9-27-19 session when we previewed example of a reading profile, districts are encouraged to attempt this process as practice within each system to determine if the criteria for current interventions can be clearly defined.

This document is two pages but we have only addressed page 1 so far. Page 1 is similar to the template above except it does not define operational expectations. These are important. It does, however, prompt teams to identified the goal and identify the intervention in question. Ideally, both templates would be beneficial for teams after opportunities to practice.
The desired outcome is the overall goal or criteria for success to be achieved. The intervention simply identifies the name and purpose of the intervention. The core components are individual criteria described in clear, observable terms that MUST be implemented with fidelity in order to meet the definition/purpose of the intervention.
This document would serve as an artifact for implementation of each intervention that is monitored for fidelity within the system.
Wayne Callender is a national speaker who presents best practices for operationalizing RTI in schools. The document below was shared at SSTAGE in 2018. This document outlines the levels of instructional support provided in a school site. At each level, data teams have the option to place students in interventions based upon universal screening and benchmark data OR to initiate a problem-solving cycle for individual students. The additional pages outline specific interventions available in the school site, the cut scores to determine risk-level and services provided. This would be an opportunity to clearly define the expected practices for adults and services to provide to students that is clearly outlined.
