Good evening and welcome to #wyoedchat. My name is Brant and I will be you moderator as we discuss MTSS.

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Please take a moment to introduce yourself and tell everyone what your favorite old school Halloween costume used to be. #wyoedchat

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 8:32 PM EDT

I’m Taylor! & idk what qualifies as an old school Halloween costume, but definitely any Disney theme like hocus pocus is my fave! #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:33 PM EDT

I am a Middle School Principal who used to love the classic ghost sheet costume, lol #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Hi Taylor. Welcome :) #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:34 PM EDT

You will be surprised at how quickly things become "old school" to you, lol #wyoedchat

Here we go :) q1. What is the purpose of MTSS? #wyoedchat

CarrieAnnTripp Oct 30 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Carrie Tripp, assistant principal for most amazing MS Ss! I had an old school smurf costume: plastic smock & hard plastic mask. #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Hi Carrie. Oh man, do I remember those old masks and the flimsy rubber bands, lol #wyoedchat

Question 2 in 2 minutes #wyoedchat

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1) isn’t MTSS process of docm the performance of Ss as evidence for additional servs after making changes in CR instruction? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:40 PM EDT

It sounds like you have some experience with MTSS :) #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Let's dive in a bit deeper. q2. What are the critical components of MTSS? #wyoedchat

hoffmanteambret Oct 30 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Brett from IA checking in. Dracula, definitely Dracula. #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Hi Brett. Why doesn't that surprise me :) #wyoedchat

In reply to @hoffmanteambret

hoffmanteambret Oct 30 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2 Data drives MTSS. Gotta be focused. Remember using some white ointment Dysitin maybe? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Googling is allowed in #wyoedchat, lol

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2) components consist of team driven shared leadership, evidence based practices, data based problem for improving outcomes! #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Ah...You are ahead of the game with your answer, my friend. When you say "data driven" what do you mean? #wyoedchat

In reply to @hoffmanteambret

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:46 PM EDT

I like it. There is that data based theme again. What do you mean by that? #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:47 PM EDT

a1. In our district, MTSS is a process for maximizing your resources in order to provide effective student support. #wyoedchat

hoffmanteambret Oct 30 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Targeted..Specific in meet S needs based on real time assessment #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Ah...real time info. My fav! #wyoedchat

In reply to @hoffmanteambret

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:49 PM EDT

q3. How does MTSS differ for academics vs. behaviors? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:51 PM EDT

a2. The 4 MTSS components my district identifies are: Universal screener Data driven decisions Tiered support Progress monitoring #wyoedchat

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A3) it differs by including response to intervention & positive behavioral intervention/support for Ss. Does that make sense? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:54 PM EDT

It does indeed. PBIS is our Tier 1 behavior intervention, whereas many old RTI concepts make up the academic piece. #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

hoffmanteambret Oct 30 @ 8:54 PM EDT

We're pretty close what you do. We use our sec assessments as the screener to ID S needs. Often MTSS is another "touch" on skill #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Do you have a secondary screener you use for academics? #wyoedchat

In reply to @hoffmanteambret

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 8:57 PM EDT

We've already touched on this a bit but I'll ask anyway... q4. What role does data play in MTSS? #wyoedchat

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:00 PM EDT

A4) I would say data is what is used to guide instruction! #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:01 PM EDT

Right! It can't be a heart check... "I feel" this student needs help. Let the data do the talking :) #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:02 PM EDT

a3. If done correctly, the structure for academic vs. behavioral support will be the same. Remember MTSS is just a framework. #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:03 PM EDT

q5. What are your favorite screening tools? Academic or Behavioral #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:05 PM EDT

a5. An effective MTSS will include a universal screener & secondary screener to help id S in need of support. #wyoedchat

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A5) does FAST: adaptive reading work? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:06 PM EDT

We are hopeful our new state assessment will become the universal screener as MAP is going by the wayside. #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:06 PM EDT

I would have to know more about that. Is it something you give to all Ss? #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Let's switch gears to Tiered support. q6. How do you determine which Tier of support your students need? #wyoedchat

hoffmanteambret Oct 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT

We give ass after each math section, and use this data. More targeted and recent than MAP or FAST. Although we look at those too. #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Sounds like a great assessment. What grade levels does it cover? #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Mostly k-5! #wyoedchat

In reply to @PrincipalNyberg

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Great Tier 1 strategy. How do you place your students into Tier 2 or 3 support? #wyoedchat

In reply to @hoffmanteambret

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A6) whether they need intensive intervention, targeted or research based. Depending on your students response to the instruction #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Heading down the home stretch. q7. What are your most effective progress monitoring tools? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I agree. MTSS is also about being preventative. This is where the screeners can help flag these students before they fail. #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A7) Curriculum-Based Measurement in Reading (CBM-R) since I am going into English education! #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

a6. Our screeners id Ss before they step into the classroom. This helps us place them in the correct level of support early. #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

this is good stuff. Gives you very good skill level data in real time :) #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Final question... a7. What other MTSS questions do you have? or What fantastic MTSS resources can you share? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:20 PM EDT

One I had shared with me today was from the Center of RTI https://t.co/fdHNVQhZNe #wyoedchat

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A8) in your experience (anyone’s) have parents refused RTI/MTSS services for behavioral support?? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

We have some Ps who don't want their Ss in support classes. If they don't believe the data, we will let them opt out. Very rare. #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:23 PM EDT

To me if it helps my child I say go for it. That is strange #wyoedchat

In reply to @PrincipalNyberg

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Right?!!! That is why having the screening data is so critical. That takes the guesswork out of it. #wyoedchat

In reply to @TaylorPoczynek

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

I appreciate you hanging out with me on a lazy Monday evening. I hope you enjoyed tonight's #wyoedchat See you next week :)

hoffmanteambret Oct 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Ditto, P dont want kids IDed as SpecEd so refuse added services. #wyoedchat

In reply to @PrincipalNyberg, @TaylorPoczynek

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Yeah. It's a stigma thing don't you think? #wyoedchat

In reply to @hoffmanteambret, @TaylorPoczynek

TaylorPoczynek Oct 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Definitely is. #wyoedchat
