In MTSS, decisions to escalate, maintain, or fade are based on what?

Decisions in MTSS are driven by data from multiple sources collected over time. By looking at several pieces of evidence—such as universal screening results, progress-monitoring data, and relevant academic or behavioral performance indicators—the team can judge how a student is responding to interventions. If the data across these sources show little or no progress, it often signals the need to escalate to more intensive supports. If the data show steady movement toward goals, it’s appropriate to maintain the current level or begin fading when appropriate. Relying on a single source, like intuition or a single test, doesn’t provide a reliable basis for changing the level of support.
