ABSTRACT

A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework for organizing and integrating academic, social, and emotional supports within a school. Full implementation of MTSS establishes a continuum of readily-available supports matched to student needs. Federal education statute and state-education agencies (SEAs) have prioritized the scale-up of MTSS as a means of improving student performance and the quality of the school learning environment. Our prior research into SEA MTSS scale-up projects identified critical incidents, that helped or hindered the success of these projects in 27 states. The purpose of this paper is to reexamine our findings using the active implementation framework to identify the linkages between the an implementation framework developed based on implementation science and critical incidents in the scale-up of MTSS. We provide recommendations to educational leaders and researchers. In addition, we provide commentary on the utility the active implementation framework as it applies to state scale-up and consider areas for future research.

摘要

多层支持系统（MTSS）是一个框架，用于组织和整合学校内的学术，社会和情感支持。全面实施MTSS可以建立连续不断的，可满足学生需求的支持。联邦教育法规和州教育机构（SEA）优先考虑扩大MTSS，以提高学生的表现和学校学习环境的质量。我们先前对SEA MTSS扩大项目的研究确定了关键事件，这些事件帮助或阻碍了这些项目在27个州的成功。本文的目的是使用主动实施框架来重新审查我们的发现，以识别基于实施科学开发的实施框架与MTSS扩大中的关键事件之间的联系。我们向教育领袖和研究人员提供建议。此外，我们对实用程序的实用评论（即适用于国家规模的积极实施框架）进行了评论，并考虑了未来研究的领域。
