Pennsylvania’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a standards-aligned, comprehensive school improvement framework for enhancing academic, behavioral health and social-emotional learning outcomes for ALL students. This session will describe the conceptual underpinnings of MTSS to include: universal screening, family/community engagement, shared ownership, central administration support, and data-based decision making.
When a student’s behavior is interfering with his/her learning or the learning of others, a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is used to identify problem behaviors and develop interventions to improve or eliminate those behaviors. The procedural steps in conducting a FBA require focused teaming, precise behavioral tracking, and targeted interventions to best support the student in all intended educational settings. Intervention fidelity and progress monitoring are additional key factors that effectively link the socially appropriate replacement behaviors to student-level Positive Behavior Supports.
