At Jefferson, we use MTSS to support academic and behavior needs. Our MTSS team meets weekly to discuss both academics and behavior.
Students receive services at all levels, depending on need.
Academic | Behavior/Social Emotional | |
Tier 1 | Evidence based core reading and math curriculum Reteaching practices Student friendly objectives posted and stated daily School wide reading and math fact fluency practice daily | PBIS Classroom and Common area expectations (taught and practiced) Positive reinforcement (High Fives), Classroom and Office Winners Strong teacher and student relationships Social emotional curriculum |
Tier 2 | Interventions or Enrichment – 4 days a week, 30 minutes a day Evidence based intervention curriculum Fidelity checks of curriculum implementation Progress monitoring twice a month | Check In/Check Out (CICO) Small group skill instruction |
Tier 3 | Individual interventions built into the day as needed Evidence based intervention curriculum Fidelity monitoring of curriculum implementation | Individual behavior plan based on function Individual group skill instruction |
All students will receive Tier 1 support. As needed they may receive an additional layer of support with Tier 2 or 3.
Check In/Check Out
Check In/Check Out is a positive behavior support. Teachers will still be using effective classroom management and Plan to SOAR procedures, but students who require extra positive behavior support will be selected for the Jefferson CICO Club. Here is how it will work:
Selected students will check in with an assigned staff member at the start of the school day.
The staff member gives the student a CICO card, which focuses on Safe, Organized, Accountable and Respectful behavior.
The CICO card provides a positive way for students to track progress throughout his/her day.
At the end of the school day, the student checks out with an assigned staff member. Student progress is recorded at that time.
At home, parents can ask about the CICO card results.
