Turning Early Literacy Data into Action Through MTSS
Description

Massachusetts districts are being called upon to do more than administer literacy screeners. Schools must identify struggling readers early, provide timely intervention, monitor progress, and engage families throughout the process. State requirements call for early literacy screening in the elementary grades using approved assessments, along with documented action and communication when students perform significantly below benchmarks. In this interactive session, learn how PowerSchool MTSS helps districts transform early literacy screening data into meaningful action by: Identifying students at risk through screening, assessment, attendance, behavior, and academic data in a single view. Connecting screening results to targeted, evidence-based interventions within a structured MTSS framework. Managing and documenting Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 supports with consistency and fidelity. Monitoring student progress and literacy growth over time with real-time dashboards and reporting. Providing district and school leaders with actionable data to monitor outcomes and support continuous improvement. Walk away with practical strategies for building a sustainable, data-driven literacy support system that strengthens implementation, improves reading outcomes, and helps ensure every student receives the support they need to succeed.
