For the MTSS framework to be implemented successfully, principals must lead, communicate, and participate in most areas of the work. Principals must understand their influence on the quality of student-level instruction and the systems-level problem-solving needed to grow both.  This training will focus on connecting the dots of how best practice is woven throughout the MTSS framework. For further information, please contact Jill Chambers at  jchambers@wresa.org
