The Iris Center: MTSS/RTI

MTSS/RTI: Mathematics
(https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/module/rti-math/#content)

This Module describes the MTSS, or RTI, framework as applied to mathematics. It includes discussions of how MTSS and RTI are related, as well as a description of instruction, assessment, and data-based decision making at each level of intensity: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 (est. completion time: 2.5 hours).

The Iris Center: RTI (Parts 1-5)

RTI (Part 1): An Overview
(https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/module/rti01/)

This Module outlines the differences between the IQ-achievement discrepancy model and the Response-to-Intervention (RTI) approach. It also offers a brief overview of each tier in the RTI model and explains its benefits (est. completion time: 1 hour).

If you would like more information about RTI, please view Part 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the RTI series from The Iris Center.  Additional information can be found at the links listed below.

The Iris Center: Functional Behavioral Assessment

Functional Behavioral Assessment: Identifying the Reasons for Problem Behavior and Developing a Behavior Plan
(https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/module/fba/)

This Module explores the basic principles of behavior and the importance of discovering the reasons that students engage in problem behavior. The steps to conducting a functional behavioral assessment and developing a behavior plan are described (est. completion time: 2 hours).

The Iris Center: Addressing Disruptive and Noncompliant Behaviors (Part 1&2)

Addressing Disruptive and Noncompliant Behaviors (Part 1): Understanding the Acting-Out Cycle
(https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/module/bi1/)

The first in a two-part series, this Module discusses problem behavior in terms of the stages of the acting-out cycle and suggests ways to respond to students in the cycle's different phases (est. completion time: 1 hour).


Addressing Disruptive and Noncompliant Behaviors (Part 2): Behavioral Interventions
(https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/module/bi2/)

The second in a two-part series, this Module describes interventions that can increase initial compliance to teacher requests as well as interventions that can be implemented to decrease disruptive and noncompliant behaviors(est. completion time: 1 hour).
