BCPS is in the process of developing a Multi-Tiered System of Supports. This system is a framework to guide schools to provide a continuum of prevention and intervention services and supports. Decisions regarding the needed services and supports should be made:
-
based on data,
-
using practices proven by research to be effective at achieving the identified goals (Evidence-based practices/EBPs),
-
in a manner that ensures equitable and culturally proficient outcomes, and
-
using a multi-disciplinary team process.
Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
The following components have been identified as essential to the BCPS MTSS:
-
Positive and Sustainable School Climate
-
Problem-Solving Process
-
Data Collection
-
Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Interventions
-

One tool available to support the MTSS process is the SHAPE System. This is a free, private, web-based portal that offers a virtual work space for student support teams to document, track, and advance their MTSS goals. The SHAPE System serves as a portal by which teams can access the census and performance measures, as well as obtain customized school level progress reports and useful resources to improve system quality: http://theshapesystem.com/
