Creating Coherence Through the Systemic Implementation of MTSS: Setting Your District Up for Success!
This fast-paced session will explore the infrastructures needed to successfully implement MTSS. One of the basic challenges of MTSS is the thinking that it can be “rolled” out after a few meetings of the minds. In fact, systemically planning and implementing a cohesive framework of MTSS is a heavy lift. To create a system that supports and builds capacity for sustainability requires collaboration, communication and trust by district leadership. It requires district leadership to reach consensus on the definition of MTSS, non-negotiables and the alignment to district plans. In other words, the district needs to use MTSS to do MTSS! Research has identified the degree to which each of the essential elements of MTSS impact student growth. It is clear that it is the coherent implementation of the “framework,” not just individual elements, that determine the impact of schooling on students. This session will examine the must haves and may haves necessary for successful systemic implementation of MTSS.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will learn about the must haves for building a sustainable MTSS system.
2. Explore the critical infrastructures needed to implement MTSS
3. Explore the importance and need for coherent and persistent data driven problem solving.
Target Audience:
District and school level personnel and/or those responsible for making those decisions
