Bringing the Science of Reading to Light Using MTSS: One School's Story
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) offers the framework for implementing the science of reading. Improving reading outcomes for all students requires building leaders who create the right conditions for learning, including designing systems for data-based decision-making, assessment, scheduling, and grouping.
We hope you’ll join this interesting presentation when our experts share how and why reading outcomes improved in a high-needs elementary school through the alignment of instructional systems and student data. There is so much to be learned from this school’s success, and these presenters will walk you through the details.
Attendees will learn:
- About the MTSS framework and implementing the science of reading
- How to use assessment data for systems change and student improvement
- The role of building leaders in creating the systems, structures, and processes for designing MTSS to improve reading outcomes for all students
- The challenges and successes of the school’s principal as she helped transform reading for elementary students
