Screen typically happens through two methods:
- Pre-emptively identifying at-risk students and
- Teacher referral
Schools may also create decision-making groups that decide what tier of intervention is required for students.
Early Warning Dashboards
Schools that use Abre’s “Data-as-a-Service” can have customized, early warning dashboards created for them.
Action Items Associated with Early Warning Dashboards
- Define the variables for early warning (District)

Teacher Referral
When an educator suspects a student requires MTSS and the defined framework, a referral kicks the process into gear.
You can create a referral form from scratch using Abre’s Forms App.
Decision Making Group
Once a referral is made, a decision needs to be made. Are the tier 1 supports doing the job for the student? Or are higher tiers of support required.
Most schools use a decision making group to determine the answer to these questions.
The group frequently invites family members and students into the process. Thoughts and ideas are captured on an agenda.
How do you attach an agenda to a student profile?
By using Abre Notes! Notes are a great way to attach agendas with student profiles (without getting lost in the shuffle).
If the decision-making group does come to the conclusion that, yes, a student plan is required they then move to the next milestone.
