MTSS -R Implementation Guide: Step 6

Implement

 

The final stage in implementing a successful MTSS-R is putting your plan in action! In this step, complete the Implementation Activities related to the five MTSS-R elements you identified in your Action Plan throughout the school year. Collect data to determine the effectiveness of your plan for achieving your Instruction and Intervention goal.
 

1. Meet monthly to determine items to complete between meetings to achieve your established Instruction and Intervention goal by the end of the school year.

2. Choose 1-2 items from your Action Plan to tackle each month. As you complete activities, identify or add new activities from the MTSS-R Key Implementation Phase Activities.

 

Tips for Successful Implementation

​

• Share your Action Plan with staff and clarify each staff member’s role and responsibilities in implementing the plan. Ask staff for feedback and adjust as needed.
   

• Use student performance and school implementation data to evaluate progress toward your instruction and intervention goal and adjust your Action Plan as needed.
   

• At the end of the school year, use student performance and school implementation data to evaluate whether you have accomplished your instruction and intervention goal. Self-reflect on the progress your school made toward strong MTSS-R implementation and use a cycle of continuous improvements to make regular adjustments based on data.
   

• Adjust your action plan based on your self-reflection:
   

  • If you accomplished your Instruction and Intervention goal, identify a new Instruction and Intervention goal.
     

  • If you have yet to accomplish your Instruction and Intervention goal, reflect on what is and isn’t working about your plan. Look back to the key activities and your MTSS-R Implementation Checklist. Is implementation occurring as intended? Do specific actions need to be revised or adjusted? Identify next steps and update your action plan accordingly.
