Episode 9: How Do We Know Which Students Need Intervention?

In this episode of Twenty Minutes to Better Schools, we dive into one of the most essential — and often overlooked — elements of a strong MTSS: clear, consistent data decision rules.

We explore the key questions every school should be able to answer:
✔️ How will we determine if our Core support is effective for our population?

✔️ How will we decide if students are at risk?

✔️ How will we address student risk- Core, Supplemental or Intensive?

✔️ How will we know Core support changes are working for our population?

✔️ How will we determine that our interventions and intervention systems are effective?

✔️ How will we determine if students receiving intervention are progressing?

From entry and exit criteria to evaluating intervention effectiveness, this episode is packed with practical insights for building strong, transparent processes that remove guesswork and bring clarity to your support systems.

Make sure your MTSS decisions aren’t left to chance — tune in now. 🎧
