Team Objective

Approximate Time to Complete: 1 Hour

Once you have completed the MTSS-R Implementation Checklist, you are ready for the prioritization step of a continuous improvement cycle. In this step, examine your MTSS-R Implementation Checklist results, your student reading performance data, and MTSS–R implementation data to identify and prioritize key implementation actions.

  1. Identify which tier of instruction (Core, Supplemental, or Intensive) is your highest priority (according to student reading performance data), and record it.
  2. Decide which implementation phase (Readiness, Initial Implementation, Advanced Implementation) is most representative of Element 1: Core Instruction and Intervention in your school’s current MTSS-R. Refer to your MTSS-R Implementation Checklist ratings and the MTSS-R Phases of Implementation Worksheet to gauge the health of your system and determine the overall level of priority for action planning.
