Tier 3 Leadership & Systems
This learning series is a prerequisite for Tier 3 Interventions Facilitator training.
This two part training series is designed for district and building administrators along with other leaders in the building to assess your current system to support Tier 3 implementation. On Day 1, leaders will learn about and assess current status of a) teaming structures to lead and coordinate Tier 3 systems, b) data to monitor outcomes of implementation, and c) coaching structures to support fidelity of practices. Day 2 will focus on building shared understanding for the principles and practices of Person-Centered Planning to ensure leadership support and commitment to implementation.
Who Should Participate
District and school leadership and coordination is critical to fidelity of implementation and successful student outcomes. The key staff roles for participation in this series are district leader(s) who oversee student supports, building administrators who have leadership in directing vision of the school-wide supports and authority of staff roles and responsibilities, building-based staff that currently coordinate Tier 3 supports, and staff that may have interest in facilitating Tier 3 person-centered planning interventions.
What is included?
This two-part virtual learning experience will provide opportunity for district teams to collaborate and plan. It is recommended that leaders from the same district participate in the same series. Virtual break-out rooms will be provided for collaboration.
