Maintain detailed records of student progress, instructional adjustments, and outcomes. Use data to determine when students no longer need intervention or require more intensive support. Analyze schoolwide MTSS data to identify trends, gaps, and areas of need. Collaboration & Communication Maintain consistent communication with classroom teachers to share updates on student progress and collaborate on next steps. Participate in grade-level and MTSS meetings to review data and determine appropriate intervention strategies. Serve as a liaison to the special education department, providing data and recommendations that inform referrals and eligibility decisions. Collaborate with related service providers and specialists (e.g., reading specialists, speech therapists, counselors) to ensure coordinated support. System Building & Support Support the implementation of the school's MTSS framework with fidelity. Assist in the development and refinement of schoolwide intervention protocols and processes.
