Universal Screening in literacy, mathematics, behavior, and social-emotional skills is a core tenet of MTSS. Universal screening is typically conducted during the fall, winter, and spring of each year to assess the health of core instruction and supplemental intervention within and across grade levels. Through universal screening, schools use a continuum of reliable and valid data sources to identify and meet the needs of all students in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, the universal screening process should reflect cultural and linguistic responsiveness and recognition of student needs and strengths.
