Assistant Superintendent of Student Services

Upper Darby School District

What we understand as your priorities

As the Cabinet‑level owner of MTSS, special education, counseling, attendance, and student supports, we believe you may be looking to:

Refining the MTSS process district‑wide, especially consistency between elementary and secondary.

Demonstrable improvement in intervention fidelity, timeliness, and equity.

A solution that does not overload staff and that can be defended to the Board and community.

How Cascades supports your priorities

Cascades is the MTSS operating system that finally matches the ambition to:

Continuing evidence-based Tier 2/3 interventions at elementary and middle schools and monitoring student growth via regular data meetings.

Supporting your continued focus on integrating PBIS behavioral and attendance supports as Tier 1 behavior framework, and emphasize social-emotional learning and mental health supports in  Student Services programs.

Advance MTSS maturity in execution and impact with standard referral, triage, and intervention workflows across 13 school.

Reduce staff burden: fewer spreadsheets, clearer responsibilities, and AI‑supported intervention selection—critical in a district with many new teachers.

Key differentiator to your function

Cascades uniqueness is its simplicity and reducing data complexity while providing you the ability to 'measure what matters' in a real-time basis. It's predefined, intuitive actionable insight widgets provides guided experience of early warning signs, disparities and disproportionality across a variety of domains and system-level view of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports and student progression. It helps with capacity building of your intervention specialties based on real-time insights into their caseload.
