UMTSS Conference

Participants will learn about an effective Local Case Management Team (LCMT) model that identifies students who are at-risk and provides a sustained, systemic multi-tiered system of supports. This model delivers an infrastructure to analyze baseline data and prescribe a targeted Tier 2 intervention. The intervention is implemented for four weeks, after which the teacher returns to the LCMT and presents the intervention data. The team analyzes the data and makes a data-based decision to either add a second intervention to be implemented for another four weeks or continue with the current intervention. After another four weeks, the teacher returns to present data on the first and second interventions. If the student is making progress, the interventions continue. However, if the data shows that the student is still not making progress with Tier 2 supports, more intensive supports are prescribed.
