Attendance, academics, social-emotional and behavioral needs- There are so many facets to student success and outcomes. How can we commit to ensuring that ALL students have the supports and resources needed to achieve their full potential? We create a multi-tiered systems of supports that provide effective, responsive, and differentiated instruction and interventions to make data-driven decisions with a student-centered approach. With a clear mission, strategic process, and effective tools, we can create a system of supports that equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their goals. Come learn how Duneland built an MTSS framework to problem-solve and support the “whole-child” to support students and close the achievement gap.
