MTSS
This three-tier framework includes RTI, PBIS, and UDL to support all students.
What is MTSS?
True or False: Occasional misbehavior is considered a normal part of child development.
What is True?
UDL lesson planning is described as being "this," meaning teachers plan for barriers before they even happen.
What is proactive?
This type of data must be collected before an intervention to show a student's current level of functioning.
What is baseline data?
This is what the acronym PECS stands for.
What is Picture Exchange Communication System?
In the MTSS model, this is the percentage of students expected to meet objectives through Tier 1 (Universal) instruction.
What is 80%?
This specific assessment is used to determine the "why" behind a student's disruptive behavior.
What is a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)?
According to Ochoa & Welch, there are this many main principles associated with the UDL framework.
What is three? (Engagement, Representation, Action/Expression)
This assessment measures how quickly a student can name familiar symbols, letters, or objects.
What is RAN (Rapid Automatized Naming)?
PECS is specifically designed for students who have deficits in this area.
What is communication?
This professional is primarily responsible for delivering grade-level instruction, monitoring needs, and collaborating with the team.
Who is the General Education Teacher?
PBIS focuses on teaching these rather than simply using punitive consequences or "nothing at all" for noncompliance.
What is teaching behavioral or social skills?
UDL lessons focus on student "this" rather than focusing solely on their deficits.
What is strengths?
These "probes" are used to monitor a student’s academic progress in specific skills over time.
What is CBM (Curriculum-Based Measurement)?
Graphic organizers and the "Ask-Read-Tell" method are examples of these "tools for thinking" for everyone.
What are cognitive strategies?
This level of PBIS aims to prevent misbehavior for every student in the school.
What is Tier 1 (or Universal)?
This might be the reason a student acts out if the work provided is beyond their current ability level.
What is an academic skill deficit (or escape)?
What are the two "parts" of MTSS?
RTI (academic) and PBIS (behavioral)
This is the primary reason teachers collect baseline data for parents and the multidisciplinary team.
What is to show current levels of functioning/to show how the student is doing currently/to keep parents and the IEP team updated?
This describes the practice of providing different levels of help to students with disabilities, which is legally required under IDEA.
What is differentiated support?
This is the specific four-step cycle teams use to identify, analyze, implement, and evaluate interventions.
What is the Problem-Solving Process?
Contrary to the "punishment" mindset, this practice is not justified as a way to "teach a lesson" about consequences.
What is removing students from the classroom/writing an ODR?
Ochoa & Welch suggest this specific instructional method to help students with executive functioning and working memory deficits.
What is Explicit Instruction?
RAN assessments are particularly useful for identifying students at risk for this specific reading disability.
What is Dyslexia?
These are the three explanatory models of misbehavior identified by Ochoa & Welch (2023).
Behavior leads to academic issues, academic issues lead to behavior, and academic and behavioral difficulties have a reciprocal impact on each other.
