NDMTSS is Continuous Improvement

Continuous improvement is not the responsibility of one or two educators working in isolation, but rather is a shared endeavor involving all stakeholders. Implementation is driven by district, school and student-level teams that are dependent upon a common purpose and collaboration. The NDMTSS process supports schools to identify their greatest needs, plan strategies for improvement, implement effective systems, and evaluate progress. Using individual student and school-wide data, districts set goals and monitor progress towards achieving them.
