MTSS Literacy is a Matter of Principal
Provo City School District has worked to create a more robust 3 Tier approach to literacy by starting from both Tier 3 and TIer 1 simultaneously. As have worked with elementary principals to conduct an audit of the school's plan to determine strengths and weaknesses, we found a lack of Tier 3 intervention materials and missing elements in Tier 1 instructional strategies. These missing pieces have disrupted Tier 2 intervention strategies. Our initial work has been with the principals as we generate common practices and definitions across schools for Tiers 1-3 Literacy. This session will provide a step-by-step process for schools to use as they audit, determine assessment protocols and design professional development to improve MTSS Literacy in elementary schools.
- Learning Objective 1 Understand the current research on literacy instruction and how to utilize the MTSS model in the classroom and across the school. Participants will be able to summarize literacy research and tie the MTSS model into their current literacy program
- Learning Objective 2 Review an approach for conducting a school or district audit of MTSS literacy implementation Utilizing the Provo City Literacy Audit tool, participants will review the use of MTSS in their setting and understand how to determine strengths and weaknesses in their programs, materials and/or implementation
- Learning Objective 3 Utilize the MTSS literacy audit to determine professional development needs. Participants review tools/templates to support a professional development design that includes research/theory, demonstration, practice and coaching.
