As public and private schools pivot to promote the social, emotional, and academic well being of all students, Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), Response-to-Intervention (RtI) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) have become buzzy initialisms seasoning our everyday discussions about the state of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in the post-pandemic era of education. Rather than a flash in a pan, or a pot, MTSS, RtI, PBIS and SEL represent an alphabet soup of educational initiatives that have stirred the past twenty-five years of public policy and reform, with no shortage of chefs offering alternative approaches to boil the broth.
Are you feeling hungry to expand your understanding of MTSS, Rtl and PBIS and learn how these data-driven, problem solving models are currently being used to promote SEL in schools?
