Course # 2412, 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, Tier III of MTSS will be covered, including data-based individualization and special education eligibility.
Objectives:
- Review best practices with respect to Tier III of MTSS.
- Learn about data-based individualization.
- Review web-based resources which will support an MTSS system in their schools.
- Learn about using MTSS to identify students with Specific Learning Disabilities.
