q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports, citing Freeman et al. (2016), an observational comparison of schools by MTSS implementation fidelity. The comparison names two different groups (higher- vs. lower-fidelity schools); no effect size or sample details are printed in the quoted passage.

"schools that implement MTSS with higher fidelity have less school absenteeism than schools that implement with less fidelity"

Learner Variables¶

• Time and Continuity — outcome: instruction changes it

• Schools with formal fidelity-monitoring processes achieved stronger MTSS implementation, and full implementers share leadership, professional development, and integration characteristics — related

• Implementing PBIS with at least Tier 1 fidelity showed no statistically significant effect on school disciplinary exclusions during the 2020–21 pandemic year — related

• Students in MTSS-coached schools were significantly less likely to have at least one behavior incident — related
• PBIS effects on collegial leadership and institutional integrity were significant only when implementation fidelity was included in the model — related
