Description

A statewide multi-tiered system of support framework developed and implemented by the Kansas State Department of Education to coordinate academic and behavioral supports for K–12 students.

Components

• KSDE statewide MTSS support infrastructure (Core Team, Recognized Facilitators, Symposium, website, dissemination): The Kansas State Department of Education maintains a statewide infrastructure to support and sustain MTSS implementation. Its components "include the MTSS Core Team, the cadre of Recognized MTSS Facilitators, the annual MTSS Symposium, an extensive and frequently updated website of materials, research, and resources on MTSS, and an ongoing dissemination plan" coordinated with the Technical Assistance System Network. In the 2014 survey, 77.4% of respondents reported KSDE established the necessary infrastructure to sustain and extend MTSS, 75.9% reported effective dissemination, and 76.0% reported sufficient resources. (Kristin Reedy et al. (2015))
