The DESSA Guide to Data-Driven Student Success

The attached guide was developed for K-8 school teams using the DESSA System to support students’ behavioral health, resilience, and overall success. It outlines a data-driven approach within a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) framework. The purpose of this guide is to help educators access, review, and apply DESSA System data to inform their programs, strengthen observable student behaviors, and foster resilience for all students.
