Measuring Implementation of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS):Integrated MTSS Fidelity Rubric (IMFR)
This project aims to develop a fully validated rubric, including accompanying scoring instructions and materials for schools to use as a self-assessment and researchers to use in studies about integrated MTSS. The project hopes to identify the essential components of an integrated MTSS framework as well as understand the analytic evidence to support the validity and reliability of the IMFR. Finally, the project aims to identify the cost of the IMFR relative to its perceived benefit.
Integrated MTSS Fidelity Rubric (IMFR) is ready for use!
The IMFR helps elementary schools seeking to integrate academics and social-emotional-behavioral supports to understand and strengthen their I-MTSS implementation.
