Joanna DeMarco
Supervisor of Multi-Tiered System of Supports and English Language Learners
As you oversee the MTSS program and ELL program, we believe your priorities might include:
a) Standardizing MTSS processes across schools, with clear expectations for teams.
b) Enabling district level and building level data team meets to have unified data and insights on student's academic, attendance, behavior and SEL needs.
c) Unified process and reliable hand offs of tiered supports across academic, attendance, behavior and SEL supports.
d) Ensuring ELL students are seen early for both language and academic/behavioral risk.
e) Reducing over‑and under‑identification of ELs in SPED; tracking impact of interventions on EL outcomes.
a) Standardized MTSS workflows across schools mean ELL students experience consistent support, not 13 different processes.
b) Unified data and process framework that supports multi-disciplinary teams to review student needs across academic, attendance, behavior and SEL needs.
c) Equity and disproportionality views by subgroup let you monitor whether EL students are under‑ or over‑represented at each tier, in special education and office discipline referrals.
d) An intake process that surfaces social and cultural constraints of students alongside co-relating data.
a) Pre configured dashboard to measure efficacy of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports based on progress monitoring.
b) Ability to assign student referrals based on interventionist caseload and specialization.
c) Ability to hand off interventions between interventionists with full process and data continuity and progress monitoring.
d) Ability for SAP counselors and external service providers to review and provide tiered supports.
e) AI decision support to MTSS team - recommend top-3 most efficacious intervention based on corelating risks.
