The National Center for Systemic Improvement (NCSI) at WestEd is hosting a Research to Practice Spotlight webinar series that unpacks key evidence-based practices and recommendations to promote the learning of students with disabilities and others struggling to learn reading and math. Learn about key practices and considerations for SEAs and LEAs in supporting educators with implementation.
This third session, Supporting MTSS Implementation: The Integrated MTSS Fidelity Rubric, will focus on assessing and improving integrated multi-tiered systems of support (I-MTSS) implementation to better understand and meet students’ academic and behavioral needs.
I-MTSS can serve as a framework for making data-based decisions around effective instruction and support for all students, particularly students with disabilities and others struggling with reading and math.
Our presenters will review I-MTSS and the Integrated MTSS Fidelity Rubric (IMFR), including study findings and the suite of materials, and facilitate discussions on ways SEAs can use or support the use of the IMFR.
Who Will Benefit
- Local Education Agency Administrators
- State Education Agency Administrators
