INTEGRATION?

+Alignment and Integration
Correct positioning for effective/efficient performance
Core features of practices and support of these practices are aligned across the system
Different parts of a system are made a functional and structural whole
Resources are leveraged to build upon each other
Integration: Cross Content Cross Department Cross Agencies

Alignment Integration
+What Elements MUST Be Present to Have an Integrated system?
Academic Skills and Academic Behaviors are identified for all students (Skill/Standards Integration)
The data are presented in a way that reflect the relationship between academic skills and behaviors (Data Integration)
The instruction provided in Tiers 2 and 3 integrates Tier 1 instruction (materials, performance expectations.) (Tier Integration)
The instruction provided in Tier 1 integrates the effective instructional strategies and performance expectations from Tiers 2 and 3 (Tier Integration)
Supports for academic, social, emotional, physical, and mental health are provided at all tiers and sources of data related to the dimensions of health are used in problem-solving at all tiers. (Support Services Integration)
