RTI, MTSS, and Academic Growth Tracking (Interventions)

How to use the Academic section for MTSS/RTI tracking

Schoolrunner does not have a dedicated section for tracking Response to intervention (RTI) or Multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) services and interventions; however, it is possible to create a workaround using the Academics section of the platform. 

Create a course

To begin tracking RTI/MTSS services and interventions in Schoolrunner, you will create a course in the Academics section. 

Important considerations:

• Upload tracks as standards
• Pay attention to roll up and recent assessment options

Create assessments in the course

• Create assessments for different times of year
• Be sure to have the assessment not count for a grade (this can be accomplished with strategic methodologies & assessment types)

Configure the grading scale

• The Grading scale should be separate from other grading scales and match progress milestones 
• When the grading scale is configured as such families are able to see progress on the platform

Create Sections

• New sections can be created for this need or you can use the "Show my" toggle

Standards

• You can turn the "Show Standards" setting on under Report Cards to increase visibility into what standards/tracks have been assessed throughout the year

Analysis 

• Once this workaround has been built, schools are able to see where students are "scoring" on each standard and what progress looks like over time

Second Method: Tracking RTI/MTSS In Behaviors

A second method some schools use for RTI/MTSS tracking is through the Behaviors section.  

Strategically naming Groups

• Within the behaviors section, schools can create Groups with strategically aligned names
• Then, schools are able to use these types to identify progression milestones
• For example, you could name a Behavior Group ‘Emotional Intelligence’ and name the Behavior Types ‘EI: Mastered,’ ‘EI: Regression,' etc.
