Course # 2410, 6 clock hours
Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a term used to describe an evidence-based model of schooling that uses data-based problem-solving to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and intervention. The integrated instruction and intervention are delivered to students in varying intensities (multiple tiers) based on student need. “Need-driven” decision-making seeks to ensure that district resources reach the appropriate students (schools) at the appropriate levels to accelerate the performance of all students to achieve and/or exceed proficiency. In this course, the foundations and Tier I of MTSS will be covered.
Objectives:
- Understand the evolution, concepts, principles, and essential elements of MTSS.
- Review best practices with respect to Tier 1 of MTSS.
- Review web-based resources which will support an MTSS system in their schools.
