GaDOE Provides a Reopening Checklist for Georgia's Tiered System of Support

As school districts are reopening after physical closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, support will be necessary to ensure that all students are successful. The purpose of the GaDOE Checklist for Georgia's Tiered System of Supports is to help the school and/or district level leadership when reopening after closures support the effective implementation of Georgia's Tiered System of Supports for Students at Tiers I, II and III, and for all students, including students with disabilities. Additionally, the checklist helps to assist in evaluating and strengthening supports when providing specially designed instruction, co-teaching, and evidence-based interventions for students with disabilities, whether served virtually or face to face. The checklist is not an exhaustive list, serves as a starting point for many reopening considerations.
