Executive Summary - Initial implementation of the WCSD MTSS (ELA) program occurred in grades four thru five during school year 2016-2017.
Implementation of Tier III in grades 6th-12th requires curricular resources to support 2017-2018 implementation. System 44 (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is recommended as the supplemental curriculum to support instruction and learning opportunities for special education students receiving MTSS Tier III instructional interventions. System 44 integrates seamlessly in the READ 180 Next Generation classroom, with educators providing differentiated instruction for System 44 students during the Small-Group Rotations.
The WCSD's recent $93,781.00 Rural and Low Income School Grant award will be used to purchase the System 44 curriculum.
