Planning a schedule that will provide all students with the acceleration and practice opportunities they may need is a significant challenge. This is particularly true as students progress through the grades. It is helpful to assemble a school-based team of administrators, educators, and specialists to establish a strong multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) driven by data-based decision-making or data-based individualization (DBI). Having a system to support well-established evidence-based practices across grade levels and tiers of instruction will help with sustainability and prevent student confusion.
