    You’ve made your intervention plans and have a strong start, but now it is time to assess and adjust. It’s the continuous part of continuous improvement that is challenging! Just like those New Year’s Resolutions we might be considering, goals set with hope and enthusiasm can quickly lose momentum without accountability.

    This webinar will discuss how district and campus leaders can provide systematic follow-up and support for MTSS goals.

    Join this webinar to learn:

    • How to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement with your staff. 
    • How to set goals for educators as well as for students.
    • What to do with intervention plans when goals aren’t met.
