Capacity Building

Infrastructure

MTSS is a framework to ensure successful education outcomes for ALL students by using a data-based problem solving process to provide, and evaluate the effectiveness of multiple tiers of integrated academic, behavior, and social-emotional instruction/intervention supports matched to student need in alignment with educational standards.

Toward an Integrated MTSS

• RtI and PBIS have similar components, features and complement each other (Sugai & Horner, 2009; McIntosh & Goodman, In Press)

• Critical role of data-based decision-making (Forman & Crystal, 2015; McIntosh et al., 2013; NASDSE, 2006)

• Value for implementation science (Forman & Crystal, 2015; USDOE-OSEP, 2010)

Page 12: MTSS P ROJECT O VERVIEW : C URRENT P RACTICES, S UPPORTS,  R ESOURCES Amanda March, Ph.D., NCSP 2015 FDLRS Institute 12.2.15

Facilitating MTSS Implementation

• Both FL PBIS & FL RtI want to:– Develop district organizational capacity to… – …establish a three-tiered model of service delivery…– …that is driven by a data-based approach to

decision-making, and used to… – …evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of

evidence-based practices on student outcomes.

• Organizational “silos” as a barrier to implementing an integrated MTSS at the school level.– Can you provide any examples of this in your work?

Page 13: MTSS P ROJECT O VERVIEW : C URRENT P RACTICES, S UPPORTS,  R ESOURCES Amanda March, Ph.D., NCSP 2015 FDLRS Institute 12.2.15

Alignment and Integration are Needed

• Many concurrent initiatives with limited resources commonly needed to implement all with sufficiency

• Organizational “silos” as a barrier to efficient integration of resources

• MTSS as a framework for alignment and integration of multiple initiatives that have common goals and implementation needs

Page 14: MTSS P ROJECT O VERVIEW : C URRENT P RACTICES, S UPPORTS,  R ESOURCES Amanda March, Ph.D., NCSP 2015 FDLRS Institute 12.2.15

FL’s Mission and VisionThe collaborative vision of the FL PS/RtI & FLPBIS Projects is to:

– Enhance the capacity of all Florida school districts to successfully implement and sustain a multi-tiered system of student supports with fidelity in every school;

– Accelerate and maximize student academic and social-emotional outcomes through the application of collaborative data-based problem solving utilized by effective leadership at all levels of the educational system;

– Inform the development, implementation, and ongoing evaluation of an integrated, aligned, and sustainable system of service delivery that prepares all students for post-secondary education and/or successful employment within our global society.

Florida’s PBS/MTSS Project

Our Mission• Increase the capacity of Florida’s school districts to

use team-based planning and problem-solving to implement positive behavior support within a multi-tiered system of support

What we do…• Provide training and technical assistance to districts

across the state in the development and implementation of positive behavior supports at Tier 1 (universal supports), Tier 2 (targeted group), classroom and Tier 3 (individual student) levels

Tiers of PBISAdapted from Levels and Descriptions of Behavior Support(George, Harrower & Knoster, 2003)

• Tier 3 – (Individual) Processes and procedures reflect school-wide expectations for student behavior coupled with team-based strategies to address problematic behaviors of individual students

• Tier 2 – (Targeted Groups) Processes and procedures designed to address behavioral issues of groups of students with similar behavior problems or behaviors that seem to occur for the same reasons (i.e. attention seeking, escape)

• Tier 1 & 2 – (Classroom) Processes and procedures that reflect school-wide expectations for student behavior coupled with pre-planned strategies applied within classrooms

• Tier 1 – (School-Wide) Procedures and processes intended for all students, staff, in specific settings and across campus

PBIS Workgroups, cont.

• Inter-project MTSS Coordination– Help districts that are implementing both PBIS

and RtI to integrate or align those efforts into one MTSS framework. This effort occurs through careful coordination of staff supports from both PBIS and PS/RtI Projects and supported by project leaders and related coordination staff. Within this coordination, topics such as integrating with school improvement, district strategic planning and problem solving, UDL and engagement, standards-based instruction, intensive intervention design, problem solving practices, and lesson study are highlighted as contexts to integrate or align academic and behavior systems of supports.

PBIS Workgroups, cont.

• Systems Coaching (Inter-Project)– Provide training & TA to districts

interested in building the capacity of their district-wide PBIS implementation supports. Systems coaching involves a focus on building greater capacity of a district to provide ongoing, high quality, job-embedded PD, distribute responsibilities for PBIS implementation to ensure implementation progress, & involve multiple stakeholders in the implementation and sustainability of PBIS.

Systems Coaching Definition

Systems Coaching (v.): application of a set of skills and activities that provide dynamic support and facilitation to develop the capacity of school or district leadership teams to implement MTSS aligned with the school or district improvement plan in order to enhance student outcomes

Tenets include:– Not necessarily a person, but a set of skills and activities

coordinated by a team– There are some essential skills sets required of the leadership

team to support and complete the activities– Leadership and coaching are both required for sustainable

change. A reciprocal and functional relationship between coaching and leadership is needed to produce the desired outcomes of the organization
