Moving to a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) requires deliberate implementation in order for it to work. After all, if the teachers in a school don’t monitor the same data or follow the same processes for intervention, then the inconsistency could sink the initiative.
Students are likely to underperform academically when chronically absent from school, which can exasperate teachers. They might wonder what parents are doing about the problem or if they even know what’s going on. They are inclined to call the parent immediately to focus on the attendance concern. However, that outreach can push the parent away.
