This course will allow you to take practical steps toward building your MTSS. Collaborating with other leaders and stakeholders in this process will help move things along, but we also recognize that we work with districts both big and small, so if you wear many hats and need to go it alone, we are here to support you! Enrollment includes up to 10 spots for you and your team.
An Example of an MTSS Team Includes:
A Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is essential to building an inclusive and equitable school system. A strong MTSS requires us to consider how we lead, share responsibility, collaborate, build community, provide professional learning, choose high-quality curriculum, allocate resources, and more. It also requires us to provide an accessible Tier 1 education for all learners. Simply put, we cannot “intervention” our way out of a weak Tier 1 foundation.
Through this course, we will explore what MTSS is and explore concrete action steps that can transform systems that do not serve our educators or our learners. We will explore how to create a vision and theory of action to drive MTSS, and dive into scheduling, professional learning, tiered interventions, and data-based decision making as means for improving the outcomes of our learners.
Unpack current systems and learn best practices for becoming more equitable and inclusive in our learning environments.
Synchronous sessions will be held monthly. If you cannot attend a live session, the recordings will be shared after each session.
