Participants will: • Establish or enhance a data team to guide the work • Develop a district data vision. • Reflect on current data/assessment reality in the district to identify gaps compared to the district vision. • Develop the capacity of the district data team to collaborate for the creation of key foundational components that establish a culture of data for the district. • Create a customized “Taking Action with Data” (Part 2) professional development plan that transfers foundational data culture components staff-wide

This course is an in-depth study of the essential components associated with implementation of a school-wide Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). Primary focus will be given to the development and use of elements used as part of a three-tier instructional model including the establishment of: (1) effective systems, (2) universal screening, (3) researchbased interventions, and (4) problem solving for systems, groups, and individual students. Emphasis will be given to translating current educational research into practice to help schools maximize resources and outcomes for all students, including those with disabilities. Examples of data systems for universal screening and progress monitoring will be identified. Specific reading and math interventions (that really work) and examples of successful models will be discussed.
