Participants will analyze their schools current teaching practices, MTSS procedures and brainstorm improvements to these systems based on the information learned.

Reviews

Theresa Butterfield
The content of this class didn't feel super helpful for me as a teacher with a fair amount of existing knowledge about ELLs and about students with Special Education needs. Therefore, I would only recommend it to those who are in need of in introductory course regarding ELLs/SPED and the MTSS process.
Kris Nadeau
This class was well organized and informational. The text has many useful charts for student support meetings and for analyzing the instruction provided to EL students.
Amanda Washburn
This class was really great at reminding me of the all the evidenced based practices out there for supporting EL students. It also was extremely helpful in providing a framework for improving our MTSS process to make it more culturally relevant.
