Robust Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Students can succeed, regardless of ability, when their learning environment is founded on systems of individualized support designed to address diverse academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs through evidence-aligned instruction and intervention.
“Our district has used DIBELS 8 as a universal screening measure in grades K-6 in order to screen students who may be at risk for reading failure. Our teams of professionals within our school use this data to form groups, determine the focus of our interventions, and make plans to follow up through progress monitoring and changes in our educational practices, as needed. This information is proven to be invaluable as we work tirelessly to close achievement gaps and provide high quality reading instruction to our students.”
