NDMTSS: Building A System of Support
This training, intended for school or district lead teams, will assist schools in determining their desired state of providing high-quality instruction and interventions matched to student need while monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction and/or goals. The training will empower teams to build an action plan to determine the resources and supports necessary to ensure every student is provided the opportunity to succeed.
NDMTSS: Barrier Busting
Implementation Structured Support Day
One of the greatest barriers with NDMTSS implementation is time for leadership team problem solving and action planning. The purpose of this session is to provide leadership teams the time to:
1. Revisit the work you have been engaging in
2. Assess current reality and identify obstacles for improvement
3. Receive assistance with next steps from consultants and other schools
This is a customized opportunity for school leadership teams to address and discuss specific needs with Shannon Harken.
