Overview
School staff must take the necessary steps to implement MTSS school-wide practices. Fidelity assessments include the most critical features of MTSS school-wide practices and help show the critical steps.
Varied Uses of Fidelity Assessments
- Use initial data to establish baselines and re-assess for progress monitoring.
- Use the features of MTSS as a checklist for your implementation goals and develop an action plan.
- Good student outcomes are encouraging, but improved student performance may take time. During the early stages of implementation, use fidelity assessments to provide positive feedback and assure school staff of progress.
