Understanding the distinction between the layers/tiers of an MTSS framework can be challenging. What distinguishes one layer of instructional intensity from another? How do you know when a learner needs something more or less individualized? What is the right data to have on the table when determining progress? When should an educational support team (EST) consider a special education evaluation, and what makes specialized instruction different from other layers of intervention? In this workshop, participants will learn how the layers of MTSS work together to create responsive systems that match supports to student needs.
Participants will:
- Learn how to intensify instruction through clear, data-informed decision-making processes.
- Identify systems and structures that support effective collaboration among teams and service providers.
- Learn to distinguish between adult supports and direct instruction when meeting student needs.
- Design or refine progress monitoring and data collection systems to guide instructional adjustments.
- Understand the differences between EST, 504, and special education processes, and make informed decisions about which supports best meet individual student needs.
