Abstract
To effectively and efficiently address both the academic and behavioral needs of all students, integrated Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (iMTSS) is an initiative gaining strength in elementary schools across the U.S. Tier 1 instruction within an iMTSS, should be evidence-based and differentiated to provide high quality educational opportunities to all students. One established approach to providing accessible and differentiated instruction is Universal Design for Learning (UDL), an instructional planning framework that can be embedded within a tiered prevention system. A mixed methods study was conducted to learn about the state of concurrent implementation of iMTSS and UDL within Tier 1 instruction in elementary schools. Participating schools were found to be either implementing the two initiatives concurrently in Tier 1 or not implementing UDL at all. Follow-up inquiry found additional qualitative characteristics that differentiated these two groups and barriers to implementation were identified.
