The Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework that helps educators identify students' academic, behavioral, and social-emotional strengths and challenges and provide differentiated support for students based on their needs.

Workshop Goal:
To empower educators to work collaboratively to identify, track, and put strategies in place across academic, behavior, and social-emotional learning to enable all staff to optimize effective interventions and monitor student progress for all students.

The "WHY":
The complexity of providing academic and social-emotional support to every student at their ability level requires educators to work together to support students with the understanding of MTSS and what it looks like in daily practice.
