How effective is RTI in supporting students with learning and behavioral needs? RTI and the Multi Tiered System and Support Framework (MTSS) promised to close the achievement gap even for students who struggle with disabilities. But a persistent shortfall in achievement outcomes is raising questions about the multi-tiered approach and whether special educators really understand the essential elements of MTSS. Register now for this informative session with RTI expert, Dr. Kim Gibbons. Dr. Gibbons will provide you with sustainability strategies for MTSS implementation with a focus on approaches for effective leadership and sustainability. With renewed attention to these MTSS implementation fidelity factors, we will see improved outcomes for all students.
