Module 2: Planning for
MTSS Implementation

In this module, we will identify Multiple Tiers of Instruction/Interventions and the Problem Solving process as the “HEART” of MTSS.

Objectives:

  • Day One: List, sort, and define the multiple tiers of instruction and interventions at your site
  • Day Two: Map current data sources for academics, social emotional learning and attendance
  • Day Three: Develop data-based decision-rules to use for tiers of instruction and interventions

Options for Seriously Ill or Hospitalized Students

Students who are unable to attend school due to serious injury or illness for a period of three weeks or more may be provided home instruction. The student’s condition must be verified by a physician. Students with mental health conditions must present authorization from a physician and a treatment plan from their doctor. A student with a temporary physical, mental or emotional disability who is hospitalized or receiving care in a residential health facility, excluding state hospitals, for a determined amount of time may receive a plan from their therapist. A student with a temporary physical, mental or emotional disability who is hospitalized or receiving care in a residential health facility, excluding state hospitals, may receive individual instruction from the school district in which the facility is located. The family is responsible for notifying the school district about the student’s need for educational services. Contact our district’s Home-Hospital Liaison Nicole Castles at (916) 826-4379 to obtain information about eligibility and educational options. (EC § 48206.3-48208)
