Strong multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) require well-functioning educational support teams (ESTs). This has become especially crucial with the implementation of the 2023 special education rule changes, which require evidence of the impact of layered interventions using recent and reliable progress monitoring data. This workshop will focus on the key systems and processes necessary for ensuring the establishment and maintenance of effective EST collaboration.
Participants will:
- Understand the role of an EST within a broader MTSS framework, particularly in relation to the special education rule changes.
- Align procedures and practices with a shared vision of the purpose of an EST.
- Delineate the roles and responsibilities of each EST member and the relational practices needed to maintain successful collaboration.
- Identify effective systems for documenting the evidence used to intensify layers of intervention within EST plans, using both diagnostic and progress monitoring data.
