MTSS at the Secondary Level, Jay Hancock, Allison Cowley, and Annie Christenson

This presentation will explore the development of a functional, effective, and sustainable Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework at the middle school level. Presenters will share practical strategies for building an MTSS model that emphasizes frequent interdisciplinary collaboration, intentional community building, and data-based decision making. Attendees will gain insight into how these components can be integrated to strengthen systems of support, promote staff buy-in, and improve academic, behavioral, and social-emotional outcomes for students in secondary settings.
