The workload for a school counselor in a traditional role can be overwhelming, and students in need of mental or emotional support may be inadvertently overlooked. This webinar describes how shifting from a traditional counseling approach to a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) benefits both students and staff members who provide mental and/or behavioral support services. Strategies discussed include using data to identify students in need of support, expanding the effectiveness of the continuum of interventions, and thinking "out of the box" to engage non-traditional MTSS team members. The Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience Education) Coordinators from two rural school districts in northern Nevada will share how an MTSS has transformed their districts and positively impacted the lives of students.
Participants will learn key strategies from two rural school districts who built an MTSS from the ground up. Hearing about the successes, lessons learned, and challenges that two Project AWARE grantees have experienced while implementing an MTSS will benefit all participants who join!
Learning Objectives. Participants will:
- Identify school and community resources that can be used to provide preventative and early intervention services
- Understand the enhanced continuum of interventions in a multi-tiered and multi-dimensional system of support
- Understand how to target interventions and monitor progress using data
