Don't Let Data Spook You! Bridging Tier 1 Core & Targeted Interventions
Unmask the true power of MTSS! In this interactive, full-day session, teacher teams and interventionists will come together to take the "scary" out of data-driven instruction. MTSS is a proactive framework rooted in prevention. During this session, teams will dive into research-backed strategies for leveraging real-time formative data, high-frequency response routines, and explicit instruction across all tiers. In addition, teams will move from theory to action in a collaborative planning lab, utilizing current data to build aligned, multi-tiered support plans.
This session will meet on October 29, 2026 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
