Educators throughout our educational system struggle with knowing how to implement
an effective MTSS/RTI process and the “Why” of an effective system. As an educator
with over 32 years of experience who has successfully helped both colleagues and
districts create and implement effective MTSS/RTI systems for over 15+ years, I am
passionate about teaching educators to effectively use the process to make sure
students do not fall through the cracks. Participants of this one-day interactive session
will walk away knowing and understanding the components of an effective MTSS/RTI
system and how to implement it in their classroom. Follow up training will include, but
not limited to the following:
➢ Effective writing of a measurable goal
➢ Intervention programs and how to choose the right one
➢ How to make specific decisions and what to do first, second, third.
In addition, based on district/school need, PD built specific to audience requests

Teachers and Evaluators have a challenging time separating their subjective opinions from objective evidence-based observations. Unintentional biases can prohibit constructive feedback and get in the way of helping a teacher expand and grow their skill set. As an educational leader, I am passionate about helping evaluators help teachers see their full potential which in turn will help students see theirs. This one-day interactive session includes role-playing and practicing how to prepare for the feedback conversation. Follow up ½ day session includes self-reflection and group reflection on the process of a feedback session with an employee.

• Getting behind the T-Tess
• Getting behind evaluation tools (Danielson/Marzano/Etc.)
• How to build independent evaluation system- objectively
• Understand how your perspectives and biases play a part in the evaluation of others
• How to give constructive feedback so people will really hear what you have to say to help them grow

One-day session sets the foundational work needed to analyze your reality. Follow up sessions include one-one coaching and or periodic ½ day progress monitoring sessions to track progress and work through problematic areas and solutions.

• Lessons learned on transforming the trajectory for your school
