In this Synergy Skills Session, we will revisit the basics of how to create an MTSS Plan as well as how to monitor a student’s progress towards their targeted growth goals. Then using the MTSS Dashboard, we will dive into and configure the data of all MTSS Plans, both open and closed. Lastly, we will identify the value of the MTSS Plan Continuation screen when it comes time to continue a specific student’s plan from one year (or from one school) to another. Attending districts must have hands-on access to MTSS screens.
