Amanda Nickerson Presenting Breakout Session 09
Integrating Gifted Education with MTSS for Optimal Reading Achievement
Integrating Gifted Education with MTSS for Optimal Reading Achievement
When viewed as a needs-based model for differentiation, a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a promising way to simultaneously ameliorate reading difficulties and provide enrichment opportunities. This tiered service delivery model can be leveraged to provide systematically intensified support for students who require additional practice as well as students who require additional challenges at a faster pace. Thus, this session will detail the importance of serving highly-skilled, gifted, and twice-exceptional students within a comprehensive MTSS framework. The session will also outline professional learning needs and instructional implications.

1. the importance of serving highly-skilled, gifted, and twice-exceptional students within a comprehensive MTSS framework;
