Problem-Solving Processes
Compose a 6-page paper that includes the following two sections:
Section I: Problem-Solving Processes (3 pages)
Compare the problem-solving processes you observed in each example, explaining both the similarities and differences. Then, explain two evidence-based practices both schools could use to support their problem-solving processes. Be sure to include specific reference to the Learning Resources and/or the literature to support your suggested practice.
Develop a problem-solving protocol for an MTSS. This could be for your school or for one of the schools discussed in the media. Include the following in your protocol:
Steps in the process or processes
Recommendations for evaluation of problem-solving processes
Section II: Role of Collaboration (3 pages)
