Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Catalog description

Education is changing, due to the implementation of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) procedures within our schools. MTSS is the practice of providing high quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals and applying child response data to important educational decisions. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive approach to promote positive behaviors and school safety. Response to Intervention (RTI) focuses more on academic screening, intervention and monitoring. The emphasis of this course is the understanding of the RTI/PBIS procedures and the various applications of RTI/PBIS within schools and individual classrooms, as well as an introduction to tier 1 academic instruction (core curriculum).
