WiMLSS-A: Math and Literacy Implementing an MLSS for
4K-12 Educators and Administrators
Is your building ready to strengthen its support for all learners?
Day 1: Assess current reality (ie, health of the universal system) using a structured process to evaluate current strong universal practices, vision, beliefs, systemic barriers, and prioritizing needs.
Day 2: Use data collected between Day 1 and Day 2 to diagnose math or literacy system strengths and pinpoint areas for improvement, leading to actionable steps for enhancing instructional effectiveness for each and every student.
Day 3: Collaborate with your local WiMLSS coaches and CESA math or literacy coaches to develop an implementation/professional learning action plan for your literacy or math system.
Day 3: Scheduled by your WiMLSS coach and held locally either in your district or at your CESA office. Registration: $600 per team of six, $100 each additional team member Series Overview
Join us for an engaging and practical professional learning series designed for school literacy or math teams*. Together, we will explore how investigating your Multi-Level System of Supports can transform your instructional practices and student outcomes by developing a proactive system for evaluating and enhancing instruction, ensuring equity and excellence in every classroom.
