Planning Effective Student Services Across Tiers

The Student Service Provider Worksheet can be used by school teams and their leadership to clarify roles and responsibilities for Tier I, II, and III SEL work within the school. See example worksheet (Middle School/High School), (Elementary School)

1. First, teams should conduct a needs assessment (e.g. Student Services Needs Assessment Data Review Protocol) including a review of existing data (e.g. Successful Schools Survey, FIT, CR-TFI) to identify student and family strengths and needs.  This work may also be captured through the School Improvement Plan or other processes. A team may choose to reference the following resources for service examples, Student Service Providers (SSP) MTSS Roles and Responsibilities and Role of Student Service Provider Alignment with FIT & TFI    
2. Next, teams should identify general education-funded staffing resources to provide services to meet these needs.   
3. Last, it is recommended that teams review this process and update the worksheet annually each fall to review the impact of services on student outcomes and to identify gaps in meeting student and family needs.
