Reaching Struggling Learners

Embark on an educational journey with me, as we unravel the complexities of the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework, a cornerstone in supporting the diverse needs of students. Guaranteed to enlighten educators and parents alike, this episode is a deep dive into the world of MTSS, where we break down the essential tiers that frame a student's learning environment. From the all-encompassing Tier 1, which sets the stage with core curriculum and behavior expectations, to Tier 2's targeted strategies for students needing that extra push, we leave no stone unturned. With an emphasis on refining core instruction to enhance support for every learner, particularly in critical areas like phonics and math fluency, this conversation promises to arm you with the insights necessary for building a robust educational foundation.
As we progress through the tiers, the spotlight turns to the often-overlooked champions of education: paraprofessionals and aides. Despite the absence of certification, their role in delivering individualized, data-driven support through Tier 3 interventions is instrumental in helping students who are significantly trailing their peers. And while we acknowledge the hurdles educators face, especially in sourcing quality interventions for math and writing, the conversation is imbued with appreciation for these dedicated individuals who often lead the charge in driving student success. Make sure to tune in for a heartfelt tribute to those who shape our learners’ futures, and a sneak peek into our next discussion that aims to dispel common misconceptions about the MTSS framework while celebrating the continuous advancement of our students.
