COMPASS: Introduction to MnMTSS

This course is foundational to MnMTSS Implementation. Teams will unpack the five components of the MnMTSS framework and begin to get a clear picture of their own system in relation to each component and subcomponent. To do this, teams begin to gather systems data (e.g., assessment, initiative, and teams inventories) and complete the Self-Evaluation of MnMTSS for District Leadership Teams (SEMI-DLT). Finally, teams use their SEMI-DLT results and the MnMTSS Action Planning Guide to create a focused plan for systems improvement to ensure equitable outcomes, access, and opportunities for the students and families they serve.Link for registrationSix-Session MnMTSS Registration
