- Summary
This Session provides a past and present historical and legislative overview of multi-tiered services. In this context, it describes some of the service-delivery flaws in the previous response-to-intervention framework, and provides ten science-to-practice solutions that can help districts and schools evaluate their current practices with an eye toward improved efficacy and student outcomes.
The two primary components of an effective multi-tiered system of supports are overviewed: the multi-tiered service teams, and the data-based problem-solving process. A “Call to Action” concludes the Session.
