Overview
There are currently two options for including Behavior within MTSS Dashboard:
Integrated
Current providers for Integrated Behavior include: PowerSchool, eSchool Data, Genesis, Infinite Campus
Additional providers can be added by the Integrations team
Non-Integrated (Incident Product)
Settings also require a “Re-set” number. The Re-set number is the number of weeks that a student must maintain WITHOUT any incidents to be returned to Tier 1 Status. The default Re-set number is 9 weeks for both integrated and non-integrated Behavior and it can be edited.
For integrated Behavior, the highest level Admin selects the ranges in number of incidents and assigned each range a Tier Level.
From a data collection focus, the minimum criteria needed is a unique student identifier and an incident date. With this information, we calculate Tiers based on the number of incidents established in Admin Settings.
Integrated Behavior also has optional custom fields that can be included. Custom fields capture additional information about the incidents and are shown to the Users in the Student Dashboard. At this time, there is no functionality associated with any custom entry fields. They are simply “plucked and dropped” from the data set into the Behavior Tab of the Student Dashboard.
Behavior is an evolving area: stay tuned for more updates about Behavior integration.
For non-integrated Behavior, we use our Incident Product. The highest level Admin selects ranges in number of incidents for both MAJOR and MINOR and assigns a Tier level. Because the data is within our product, we provide additional information contained within the Incident report. That is similar to the custom entry fields that the integrated option provides.
At this time, a non-integrated Behavior does not include any custom fields.

Integrated Behavior Settings
Recommended Settings
Number of Incidents | At Risk Indicator | Tier Level |
|---|---|---|
0 to 1 | Shown with 1 incident | Tier 1 |
2 to 5 | Shown with 5 incidents | Tier 2 |
6 or more | None | Tier 3 |
Notes:
At Risk Indicators are NOT shown in Settings.
The example above is the default setting. If the number of incidents is changed, then the At Risk Indicators also change. At Risk Indicators show when the top limit for the number of incidents is reached within the Tier for Tier 1 and Tier 2
0 is locked as the minimum value for Tier 1.
The ranges are editable but values selected must lowest for Tier 1, followed by Tier 2 and then Tier 3
All values from the maximum value for Tier 1 to the minimum value for Tier 3 must be included with no gaps or overlaps.
Once the data for the first incident is integrated, then the settings are locked for the current school year.
Non-Integrated Behavior Settings
Recommended Settings
Number of Incidents | At Risk Indicators | Tier Level |
|---|---|---|
0 - 1 Major OR 0 - 3 Minor | Shown with 1 Major OR 3 Minor | Tier 1 |
2 - 5 Major OR 4 - 10 Minor | Shown with 5 Major OR 10 Minor | Tier 2 |
6 or more Major OR 11 or more Minor | None | Tier 3 |
Notes:
At Risk Indicators are NOT shown in Settings
The example above is the default setting. If the number of incidents is changed, then the At Risk Indicators also change. At Risk Indicators show when the top limit for the number of incidents is reached within the Tier for Tier 1 and Tier 2.
Notice “OR” : At Risk Indicators are shown when the top limit for EITHER Major OR Minor Incident count is reached.
Same rules apply as mentioned for integrated behavior with those rules being extended to include both Major and Minor incidents.
Notice “OR” in the above Recommended Settings
To trigger a Tier Level change, the criteria is one or the other.
Example: Having 2 Major incidents and 1 Minor incident means the student is Tier 2.
Example: Having 1 Major incident and 11 Minor incidents means the student is Tier 3.
Only incident reports that have an APPROVED STATUS are counted in MTSS Dashboard.
Example: If school principal does not approve an incident report, then it does not show up in MTSS Dashboard.
