How to Create an MTSS Team to Guide Your MTSS Practice
Join Branching Minds for a one-hour webinar on creating a school-based MTSS team to guide your MTSS practice. This webinar is hosted by two MTSS consultants from the Branching Minds’ professional service team—Dr. Valerie Parsons & Effie Niederbrach—and will provide a breakdown of roles and responsibilities needed when creating an MTSS team.
A school-based MTSS team is a key problem-solving team that creates the engine that drives the MTSS system. These teams are created by leadership to ensure that all processes and resources are aligned to create a strong system of MTSS.
