Learning Objectives
By the end of this unit, you will be able to:n
1. Recognize the structure of MTSS as a
framework for implementation of the CA CCSS
2. State the rationale for MTSS framework within
the context of the CA CCSS
3. Describe the core components of MTSS
4. Define the difference between MTSS and RtI2
5. Identify critical components of the
implementation process
A Rationale for the CA CCSS
“The CCSS addresses the deep challenges of
inequality of opportunity between
different students exposed to radically
unequal opportunities when it comes to
the material they study and the quality of
instruction they have received.”
(Coleman, D. 2011)
Implementing
the CA CCSS
MTSS
Through MTSS
• Embrace and address the diverse needs of
ALL students
• Develop and implement high-quality
curricula aligned with initiatives, resources
and supports
• Some students will need additional
support and interventions
Implementing the CA CCSS
Through MTSS
“. . . Implementing the Common Core State
Standards within a framework of a MultiTiered System of Support will help ensure
that all students have an evidence-based
system of instruction to assist them in
achieving success.”
(Gamm, Elliott, Halbert, et. al., 2012)
Time to Reflect
• Think about the supports and
interventions currently in place in your
school or district
• Which student populations are addressed?
California Systems of Support
• Interventions within • Services for English
Learners, American
the RtI2 framework
Indian students,
• Special Education
and those in gifted
and talented
• Title I
programs
• Title III
Are these systems consistent with the supports
you identified as available in your school or district?

Time to Reflect
• What do these standards demand from
students?
• How do they change the curriculum?
• How do they change the instruction?
Characteristics of the CA CCSS
Clear &
consistent
framework
Schools are
globally
competitive
Logical
Progression of
rigorous
content
Balanced application
of math & literacy
Reflect the
principles of
Universal Design
for Learning
Evidence-based
practices
Produce the deep
knowledge
& skills necessary
For
ALL
students
CA CCSS for
English/Language Arts, & Literacy
1. A comprehensive Kindergarten–5th grade
section, including standards for
foundational skills
2. Content-specific sections for grades 6–12
for English / Language Arts
3. Content-specific sections for grades 6–12
for literacy in History / Social Studies,
Science and Technical subjects.
Shifts in ELA & Literacy
1. Reaching a true balance of informational &
literary text
2. Building knowledge of content areas
through text
3. Creating staircase of text complexity
4. Providing text-based answers
5. Providing sources and evidence to support
arguments
6. Learning of academic language
Math Standards
Mathematical Practice
• Describe how standards should be
approached in instruction
Mathematical Content
• Define what students should know and be
able to do
• Organized by domains in Kindergarten
through 8th grade
• Organized by conceptual categories in high
school
The Three Shifts
in Mathematics
• Focus
– Moved from solving problems in a precise way,
to being able to solve them using a variety of
strategies
• Coherence
– Ensure that the learning is carefully connected
• Rigor
– Reflected in a strong emphasis on fluency at
the primary grades
(Cocuzza)
Time to Reflect
Review the pedagogical shifts
– Identify two major shifts in ELA/Literacy
instruction
– Identify one major shift in math
instruction
– What changes in your system will be
necessary to support these shifts?

Time to Reflect
Reflect on the data on graduation and drop
out rates
• What do you believe this data suggests
about current approaches to instruction
and intervention?
• What significant changes are necessary to
improve outcomes for ALL students?
The Rationale for Change
“A full 70 percent of US middle and high
school students require differentiated
instruction, which is instruction targeted to
their individual strengths and weaknesses.”
The one-size-fits-all approach
will no longer work
if we are expecting a different result
(Biancarosa & Snow, 2004)
What MTSS Offers
• The potential to create the needed
systematic change
• Focus on
– The CCSS
– Core instruction with UDL Principles applied
– Differentiated learning
– Student-centered learning
– Individualized student needs
– Alignment of the systems necessary for
academic, behavior, and social success
(Averill & Rinaldi, 2011)
Integration of MTSS & the CA CCSS
“MTSS builds on the CCSS to provide a
framework and a set of critical tools and
additional time to support teaching and
learning at differing levels of intensity,
depending on the academic needs of the
students. In other words, the CCSS
articulates the “what” in teaching; and
MTSS provides a framework for “how” and
“when” to provide it.”
(Gamm, Elliott, Halbert, et. al., 2012)

RtI2 Limitations
• Does not include all students
• Focus often is only on academics
• Without a system-wide approach, RtI2
is not aligned with other initiatives,
resources, or supports
(Meinders 2012)
MTSS Paradigm Shifts

Prevention for
ALL students

Identifying what

MTSS Principles and Practices
• Early Intervention
• Multi-tiered model
• Evidence-based
supports and
practices
• Fluidly driven by
data
• Individualized
interventions
• Principles of UDL
(www.kansasmtss.org)
• Differentiated learning
• Integration of
intervention and
instructional supports
• Classroom instruction
aligned with the CA
CCSS
• Strong, predictable, and
consistent classroom
management structures
Time to Reflect
Read Kansas Multi-Tier Systems of Support:
The Integration of MTSS and RtI
• Identify the attributes of most RtI models
• Add the attributes of MTSS
• Where do these models overlap?
(www.kansasmtss.org)
Essential Concepts
CA MTSS
RtI2
• Universal screening
• Multiple tiers of
intervention
• Data-driven decision
making
• Problem solving
teams
• Focus on CCSS
• Addresses the needs of
ALL Students
• Aligns the entire system of
initiatives, supports, and resources
• Implements continuous
improvement processes at
all levels of the system
Bringing MTSS to CA Schools
The implementation of MTSS will
“require all school staff
to change the way
in which they have
traditionally worked”
across all school settings
(Castillo et. al. 2010)
Bringing MTSS to CA Schools
• School teams must focus on
– Facilitation of consensus building
– Establishment of necessary
infrastructure
– Ongoing evaluation of adhering to
implementation
(Castillo et. al. 2010)
Implementing MTSS
“Real change is possible,
but only by taking
a truly systemic approach.
There are not quick fixes.”
(Fullan, 2010)
