Evolving Support Structures: Understanding Life without a Dedicated MTSS Coach Position
Monday August 5, 2024 12:45pm - 1:30pm EDT
In this session, we delve into the dynamic landscape of support structures within educational settings that our school has followed without a dedicated MTSS Coach position. With the absence of this crucial role, schools often find themselves navigating uncharted territories, requiring them to adapt and innovate in their approach to student support.

We will explore the various challenges faced by schools when they transition away from a dedicated MTSS Coach to a fully integrated team approach. We will include how we approached identifying gaps in support, redefining roles and responsibilities, and maintaining continuity in student interventions. Through shared experiences and collective insights, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in such transitions.

Moreover, this session will highlight the resilience and resourcefulness of whole-school educational communities as they evolve their support structures to meet the diverse needs of students. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange strategies, best practices, and lessons learned from their own journeys implementing an MTSS Framework through a truly integrated team approach.

By fostering an open dialogue and collaborative learning environment, this session aims to empower educators with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate implementation of an MTSS Framework without a dedicated Coach position, ultimately ensuring the continued success and well-being of all students within their school communities.

In this session, we delve into the dynamic landscape of support structures within educational settings that our school has followed without a dedicated MTSS Coach position. With the absence of this crucial role, schools often find themselves navigating uncharted territories, requiring them to adapt and innovate in their approach to student support.

We will explore the various challenges faced by schools when they transition away from a dedicated MTSS Coach to a fully integrated team approach. We will include how we approached identifying gaps in support, redefining roles and responsibilities, and maintaining continuity in student interventions. Through shared experiences and collective insights, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in such transitions.

Moreover, this session will highlight the resilience and resourcefulness of whole-school educational communities as they evolve their support structures to meet the diverse needs of students. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange strategies, best practices, and lessons learned from their own journeys implementing an MTSS Framework through a truly integrated team approach.

By fostering an open dialogue and collaborative learning environment, this session aims to empower educators with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate implementation of an MTSS Framework without a dedicated Coach position, ultimately ensuring the continued success and well-being of all students within their school communities.
