MTSS Through a DEI Lens: Building a Whole Community Approach

Thursday September 26, 2024 1:15pm - 2:15pm EDT

This session will explore the intersection of Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how MTSS frameworks can be aligned with DEI principles to ensure that every student, regardless of background or identity, receives the personalized support they need to succeed. Through discussion, one case study, and practical strategies, we will examine ways to address disparities, promote culturally responsive practices, and improve outcomes for all students. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to enhance their school's approach to both MTSS and DEI.

Unpacking “Struggle”: Finding strengths within a school for complex learners (Two Hour Session)

Wednesday April 2, 2025 9:00am - 11:00am EDT

Zoom

How we respond to children, and what we say about children, matters. The ways in which difference shows up in our classroom is both an opportunity for learning and a challenge for us to work through. In this session, we will explore how complex learners show up in our school communities, and will practice working through strength-based perspectives, as well as developing learning opportunities that embrace differences. Additionally, participants will continue to consider inclusive literacy practices as discussed in the keynote (appropriate for all content areas).
