Tier 1 Team Update:
MTSS is a proactive and preventative framework that integrates data and instruction to maximize student achievement and support students’ social, emotional, and behavior needs from a strengths-based perspective. Our two main responsibilities for those of us on the MTSS
Tier I Team are:
Proactively looking at academic and behavioral data for ALL Schroeder students to support their growth.
Developing supports that will positively impact the general student population in regards to soft skills, behavior, and academics.
Recently, we polled all the teachers to find out from them what were some glows and what were some grows. We thought it was important to share this information with parents and guardians.
First, the glows: Following classroom procedures, working well with classmates and attendance in class were all identified as things that Schroeder students were doing really well. Over 50% of the teachers indicated that these were strengths of Schroeder students.
Now the grows: There were two areas that were the highest that over a third of teachers felt students were not doing well in. Those two areas for the students are checking their google classroom and checking infinite Campus.
