Co-sponsored by the Secondary Literacy Partnership.

How can secondary school teachers support equitable access in a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) in ways that result in college, career, and civic life preparedness for all students?

This webinar increases participants’ knowledge and understanding of building literacy within a MTSS framework. Participants will also learn about the critical role secondary school teachers play in alignment at all levels of the system to improve outcomes for all students, specifically those who may not have been provided access or a safe learning environment.

Who Will Benefit

 Secondary teachers, instructional leaders, and special educators are encouraged to attend.

What You Will Learn

  • How the English Language Development/English Language Arts Framework supports academic literacy development for a diverse array of learners

  • Instructional strategies, accommodations, and new ways of talking about language that address inclusiveness and high-quality, first tier instruction
