Implementing an Effective MTSS Framework for Students with Dyslexia and Reading Challenges
This workshop will provide participants with a review of the elements necessary for creating or modifying an MTSS infrastructure that is effective and sustainable for children with print-based disabilities. These elements include planning, staffing, scheduling, curriculum, and professional development for teachers and paraprofessionals. The presentation will include video of authentic MTSS implementation in a large, diverse K-12 school that includes regular ed, special ed, and English Language Learners. The session will highlight the role and function of the leadership team that is responsible for decision making and problem solving as well as communication with educators, parents, and students. Participants will receive a planning and infrastructure checklist as well as a toolkit for ensuring that the multi-tiered system meets the needs of students with dyslexia (RTI-D).
