Paper Submission

This paper must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Central Time (USA) on Tuesday, October 29. Take

note if you are in another time zone. Specifically, the paper must be submitted in Canvas using

the link for this assignment that is in the “EEX6051 Assignments Module.”

Directions

For this assignment, you are to write a 1 ½ page, single-spaced paper addressing two issues

pertaining to a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). Address each issue from the perspective

of someone tasked to oversee the design and operation of an MTSS across an entire K-5 school.

1. Briefly explain the structure of an MTSS for a K-5 school and the rationale for its use

(i.e., the use of an MTSS).

2. Discuss a minimum of three issues of utmost concern for a K-5 school’s use of an MTSS.

Work through the content in the References section below to acquire the knowledge you need to

write this paper.

In addition to the directions you are currently reading, refer to the Microsoft Word template you

must use to write your paper. I have placed this template in the directions for this assignment

presented in the aforementioned Canvas assignments modules. The template contains all of the

proper formatting, which is as follows:

1. Your name, the paper’s title, and page number are to be listed in the header.

2. Use 1” top, bottom, left, and right margins.

3. Use the following font: 12-point Times New Roman. Use plain text for the content in the

body of the paper and bold text for the headings.

4. Single space throughout the entire body of the document, and indent the first line of each

paragraph.

5. Place the following two headings flush left and in bold text: (a) MTSS Structure and

Rationale and (b) Three Issues of Utmost Concern for a K-5 School’s use of an MTSS.

6. Write in complete sentences throughout the paper

You will note that I put example text in the template. To efficiently use the template, replace my

example text with yours. Begin by putting your name in place of the words “Your Name” in the

header, and then replace all of the example text I put under the two headings.

Grading Criteria

The assignment is worth 50 points. I will evaluate the paper you submit in Canvas based on

proper grammar (i.e., spelling, punctuation, sentence structure), content (i.e., properly addressing

the required content in each part of the paper), and formatting. A copy of the grading criteria is

available in the directions for this assignment, which are presented in the aforementioned Canvas

modules.

Finally, ensure you do not exceed the 1 ½ page limit. I will not consider anything you write

beyond 1 ½ pages and will deduct points for not correctly formatting the paper.

Contact me with any questions you have about the assignment.
