The Chief Deputy of the Michigan State Department of Education is describing a MultiTiered Systems of Support (MTSS) capacity building opportunity to improve outcomes for all students, especially students with disabilities. Specifically, the state agency, in collaboration with the State Implementation and Scaling-up of Evidence-based Practices (SISEP) Technical Assistance (TA) Center, is looking for learning partners to further develop the Michigan MTSS model. There are mixed reactions in the room, ranging from skepticism to excitement for the various possibilities. The ISD Superintendent at Lenawee County Intermediate School District (LISD) takes the opportunity back to his cabinet leadership team to discuss the possibilities.  \nStudent Race Demographics  \n| Lenawee ISD Demographic Data\u003Cbr>11 Districts 35 |  |  | Schools 15,152 Students |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Lenawee Baseline Outcome Data |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| | Average 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate for all students | |  | Average 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate for students with disabilities | | Suspension/ Expulsion Data |\n\nSix years later –  \nLENAWEE ISD HAS SUSTAINED AND SCALED MTSS FROM  \n2  \nDISTRICTS >>  \n6  \nSCHOOLS >>  \n10  \nDISTRICTS  \n30  \nSCHOOLS  \nIn several districts, students, including students with disabilities, have demonstrated improved behavioral outcomes. Internal processes within the ISD have shifted. There are new ways of selecting practices and programs, new roles for coaching districts, and a revised process for how districts and schools are engaged and supported. Read on to find out how this was accomplished.  \nSISEP. FPG. UNC. EDU  \nKey Learnings  \nContext matters in implementation. The LISD navigated implementation through major changes in their school districts’ administration and the COVID-19 pandemic. The district highlighted in the data below experienced leadership change in the District Superintendent position and three school principal positions. The district and LISD credit the sustained use of MTSS to the accomplished system work. The initial cohort of districts reported their ability to respond quickly and proactively to the COVID-19 pandemic due to their teaming and systems being in place.  \nAs the LISD implementation team reflects on their MTSS implementation journey to date, several key learnings are generated.  \n“MTSS has had a profoundly positive impact on our schools. MTSS has ensured that every student’s unique needs are met by fostering a common language and framework for intervention and support. This unified approach has enabled us to identify early warning signs in students and provide timely interventions, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes for all students. MTSS promotes a culture of continuous improvement, creating a supportive environment where every learner can thrive.”  \nIMPLEMENTATION TAKES:  \nTrusting teams.  \nTrusting relationships between ISD team members and their district and school teams are critical.  \nTime.  \nThe implementation journey is a marathon and not a sprint.  \nActive support.  \nChanging the actions, beliefs, and hearts of staff members takes coaching of both teams and instructional staff.  \nChampions.  \nISD leadership visibly promoting MTSS and creating enabling conditions for implementation (e.g. time, resources) is key.  \nWell-defined practices.  \nOutcomes are still being sought for literacy as the LISD team works to refine their literacy practicesand core instructional programs.  \nHOW-CREATING REGIONAL, DISTRICT, & SCHOOL CAPACITY  \nA Lenawee ISD (LISD) implementation team was formed of staff and leaders from various departments within the agency, including instruction, special education, early childhood, career and te","cbCaisFheSea8iDb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisFheSea8iDb","pdf",910156,"English","# Introduction\n# Student Race Demographics\n# Key Learnings\n# How-Creating Regional, District, & School Capacity\n# Impact","[{\"question\":\"What problem MTSS capacity building aims to solve in the region?\",\"answer\":\"It aims to improve outcomes for all students, especially students with disabilities, by strengthening the Michigan MTSS model through learning partners and implementation support.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors are identified as critical during MTSS implementation?\",\"answer\":\"Key factors include trusting teams and relationships, allowing sufficient time, providing active staff support through coaching, promoting MTSS leadership champions, and using well-defined practices as implementation progresses.\"},{\"question\":\"What impact does the report highlight from sustaining and scaling MTSS?\",\"answer\":\"Districts and schools show decreases in discipline incidents, with examples such as a significant reduction in suspensions and expulsions at Clinton Elementary compared with similar schools and state averages.\"}]","Transforming a Regional Education Agency through MTSS Implementation | PDF",1792060048]
