Enhancing Multi-Tiered System of Supports for District of Columbia Public Schools

DCPS is partnering with REL Mid-Atlantic as the district rolls out its expansive MTSS framework district-wide. Its goals in this partnership are to:

1. establish clear standards for what it means to effectively implement MTSS@DCPS,
2. identify what conditions at both the school and district levels support effective implementation of the system,
3. understand data collection needs and aligned tools to ensure schools and students receive appropriate and tailored supports, and
4. develop a communication strategy to promote buy-in among educators and families in using the system.

REL Mid-Atlantic is assisting DCPS’s efforts to use evidence to inform, monitor, and refine MTSS@DCPS to promote positive outcomes in student social-emotional and academic development. This will build DCPS’s capacity to move the needle on key outcomes over the next several years.
