Mario is a 16-year-old transgender student. Mario’s family recently moved from California to Louisiana due to his mother receiving a job offer in the medical field. Mario is supportive of his mother’s new job, but he also misses his friends and the sense of security and safety he felt in California. Although he has not experienced overt discrimination or bullying at his new school, he has often been met with whispers and stares by other students. Mario’s mother has noticed that he has become withdrawn and quiet at home, and that he often stays in his room during dinner. When he is not in his room, he often seems like he is holding back tears when asked questions about school. His teachers report that he turns in his work on time, and never acts out in class, but that he sits in the back of the room and never participates in discussions unless he is directly called upon. He eats lunch alone every day, often seeking out an isolated corner or empty table to sit at. He declined to try out for the school play, even though theatre was his favorite extracurricular activity in California. Mario’s mother has reached out to you, the school social worker, to see how you can help.
Using the Multi-Tiered Systemic Supports (MTSS) model, choose and briefly describe one intervention for each level: Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. For each level, answer the following questions:
Why is this intervention appropriate for this level? Back up your arguments with evidence.
Who will need to be involved in each separate intervention? Why did you choose this team for this level?
How will you evaluate the effectiveness of each intervention? Be specific about what tools you will use, and what you will do with the results.
Use APA 7th edition formatting for this assignment, including a title page and in-text citations that match with a reference list. Undergraduate papers should be 3+ pages in length,
and include at least two scholarly citations in addition to your textbook.
Please use headings and subheadings in your paper! This helps your professor when grading, and it is good APA practice.
I added the following paper under files that can be used as one of the scholarly citations. “Characteristics and Outcomes of School Social Work Services: A Scoping Review of Published Evidence”
I will also provide access to the book for chapter 11-14
