In this pathway, the second in the three-part series, participants delve more deeply into how to implement ISF at the district/community level. Participants learn the local context for ISF installation, engage in installation and implementation steps at the district level, initiate the action planning process, and establish leadership and coaching.
Type: Learning Opportunity
This pathway, the third in the three-part series, explores how to implement ISF at the school level. Ideally, participants will have participated in at least one of the two other pathways in the series. Implementation of ISF at the school level is more successful when a district/community leadership team has been established and school-level implementation is guided by and aligned with this team’…

Type: Learning Opportunity
This pathway builds awareness of restorative practices as a tool to develop identity-affirming schools and classrooms. Participants also explore the relationship between restorative practices and MTSS.
Type: Learning Opportunity
In this pathway, participants gain a better understanding of how a trauma-informed approach can improve the learning environment and improve outcomes for all students. Participants explore the research on adverse childhood experiences, the definition of childhood trauma, stress and fear responses, attributes of a trauma-sensitive school, and trauma-informed care within MTSS.
Type: Learning Opportunity
In this pathway, educators learn strategies for developing a shared vision of MTSS and for effectively communicating that shared vision with stakeholders.
