Professional Learning Opportunities

Learning about the stages of implementation and considering where teams are is crucial to sustaining the implementation of MTSS. Thus, it is highly recommended that Local Educational Agency (LEA) teams begin with the MTSS District Leadership Training (DLT) professional learning series prior to participating in the other MTSS offerings. The MTSS knowledge and organizational infrastructure developed during the MTSS DLT professional learning is essential for teams to participate in the MTSS Community of Practice (CoP), MTSS Academic Collaborative, and MTSS Behavior (Positive Behavior Intervention Support, PBIS).

MTSS District Leadership Team (DLT)

The MTSS District Leadership Team (DLT) PL series is foundational learning for all San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) MTSS PL offerings.

MTSS Community of Practice (CoP)

The MTSS CoP is for teams who have had foundational learning in MTSS and will be participating in structures that improve their MTSS implementation (i.e. Consultancy Protocol).

MTSS Academic Collaborative

LEAs who have completed foundational MTSS learning (i.e. MTSS District Leadership Training) and are in the installing stage of implementing key elements of MTSS have the opportunity to participate in the MTSS Academic Collaborative.

MTSS Behavior

After completing foundational MTSS Learning (i.e. MTSS District Leadership Training), school and LEA leadership teams have the opportunity to advance their system by participating in professional learnings that address behavior.
