The Ventura County SELPA collaborates with the Ventura County Office of Education to provide leadership and training in systems of support to students who may be struggling in general education classes and settings. Because all students learn differently, general education teachers are expected to offer Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to meet the needs of their students. MTSS means that teachers provide alternate means for engaging students in learning, as well as alternate ways of presenting material and allowing students to respond. By providing a variety of means for students to learn and demonstrate what they know, we expect more students will be successful in the educational process.
If a student continues to fall behind expected performance, the school team should provide reasearch- and data-based interventions to the student to attempt to address the area of concern. These interventions may be increasingly intensive, from large to small group to individual. Before making a referral for Special Education assessment, school teams should have documentation of interventions and data on student performance in those interventions.
