In an MTSS model, who is responsible for monitoring student progress?

In an MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) model, all educators involved in the intervention share the responsibility for monitoring student progress. This approach fosters a collaborative environment where general education teachers, special education teachers, and support staff work together to assess and respond to students' needs effectively.

By having all educators monitor progress, it ensures a more comprehensive understanding of each student's challenges and successes. Such collaboration allows for timely adjustments to interventions based on continuous data collection and analysis, leading to improved outcomes. Involving a wide range of educational professionals contributes to a holistic view of student progress, as different educators may observe varying aspects of a student's performance.

In contrast, limiting the responsibility to specific roles, like only special education teachers, aides, or school administrators, could lead to gaps in monitoring and support. Each educator's unique insights and experiences are valuable in a student's educational journey, making a collective approach essential for successful intervention and support in an MTSS framework.
