2026 MiMTSS Conference
Thursday November 19, 2026 2:30pm - 3:45pm EST
In this session, we will explore the critical role of robust team structures in the successful implementation of a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). Participants will see examples from two school districts on how to design, sustain, and align teams at both the district and building level to create a seamless, data-informed framework that addresses both academic achievement and behavioral health. Whether you are in the early stages of MTSS adoption or looking to refine your current collaborative practices, this session provides actionable strategies to ensure your teams are not just meeting, but effectively driving improved student outcomes through tiered support.

Learning Objectives:
  • Participants will identify the essential conditions for sustainable team health, including scheduled time, shared leadership, and systematic professional development.
  • Participants will see how to establish collaborative structures to support district K-12 cohesion of an integrated MTSS model that's driven by data-based decision making.
