The Vista Unified School District uses a variety of data to monitor the growth of our students over time. We utilize a whole child approach to view multiple measures of success in order to better serve our students. The instructional programs in Vista Unified are carefully aligned to the California Department of Education’s MTSS framework. This framework outlines a multi-tiered system of support that identifies student learning in three areas of achievement: behavioral, social-emotional, and academic. To translate learning into real-world application, students need to have knowledge and expertise in all three areas.
