Oregon Trail REN (Regional Educator Network) is having its first MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) training next week, October 27th, from 8:00 – 11:00 AM. As a reminder, all trainings are 100% virtual.
The REN is partnering with the American Institutes for Research to sponsor the four-part training. If you have existing MTSS structures in place, this will provide an opportunity to refine your practices and enhance your system(s). If your school is new to MTSS, this will provide a framework for implementation.
