The issues with SEL & MTSS/RTI within districts
Being in-tune with students’ social emotional needs is much more than discussing how they are feeling.
Unactionable data
SEL is an important component of the MTSS process. Dysregulated students struggle to learn until they regulate. SEL data is needed with behavioral and academic data.
Out-paced SEL tools
SEL curricula has out-paced SEL assessment, intervention planning, and progress monitoring tools. Current solutions and curriculum focus on Tier 1 instruction.
Lack of reporting
Districts provide training, but they may be unsure of how to evaluate the success of these efforts or how to weave SEL into schools’ existing data structures.
The benefits of using SEL & MTSS/RTI within districts
Districts with effective SEL integrations produce students who report a positive climate and experience more success academically.
Build on current systems
Have the opportunity to build on the current systems in place in districts by integrating the MTSS/RTI model.
Track every student
MTSS/RTI provides a framework for districts to use to ensure students do not slip through the cracks.
Focused interventions
These programs allow for targeted interventions to address specific skill gaps across a variety of learners.

Satchel Pulse integrates an MTSS/RTI approach
Identify students needing additional SEL support with Satchel Pulse’s intelligent screening, assessment and interventions process connected with MTSS/RTI.
#1 Screeners and diagnostics
Use the Satchel Pulse universal screener, designed specifically from the CASEL Framework, to assess all students on the 5 core competencies.
The Satchel Pulse screeners include a student self-assessment along with a teacher assessment. Students whose results indicate a need for potential intervention are automatically delivered a diagnostic assessment.

#2 Tier recommendations and placements
Following screener and diagnostic data, Satchel Pulse provides automated tier recommendations for students.
Users have the option to approve all recommendations or only matching tier scores. This allows for a batch approval of recommendations where there is a score agreement between the student and teacher.

#3 Intervention grouping and planning
Once students are placed into tiers, they can be assigned to intervention groups based on a number of different factors including low SEL subskill, grade level or class.
Once groups are identified, students can be assigned one at a time or by group to an intervention. Satchel Pulse provides the tools to create, assign, start, and monitor interventions over time.

#4 Intervention lessons and monitoring
Use the Satchel Pulse intervention library to find recommended learning pathways for intervention groups.
The library is searchable by a variety of factors such as CASEL competency, subskill, and grade level. Teachers can rate and comment on lessons they are using which facilitates an informal professional learning network amongst teachers across the district.
