Fidelity of implementation tools help the team to understand how consistently essential features of MTSS (e.g., core instruction, problem-solving process) are implemented as intended.
    • DE-MTSS Action Plan Template - Team use this resource to document goals and action steps that will enhance the knowledge and skills of personnel (e.g., training and coaching) and build the infrastructure for DE-MTSS.
    • Resource Mapping Tiered Continuum - Teams use this resource to document the practices and decision rules at each tier and plan for monitoring fidelity and student progress.
    • Team Audit - Teams use this tool to document the teams within their school and ensure that teams have a clear purpose that is understood by all team members. This process helps teams make the best use of current resources and determine if changes are needed.
    • The Hexagon Tool - The Hexagon Tool can be used by districts, charters, and schools to better understand how a new or existing program or practice fits into an implementing site’s existing work and context. The Hexagon Tool can be used at any stage of implementation to assess fit and feasibility. It is most commonly used during the Exploration stage when an implementing site is identifying and selecting new programs and practices to implement.
