Are your MTSS processes equitable or inequitable?
The LEARN Framework Academy offers culturally meaningful MTSS courses that complement The Tier 2 Teacher Boot Camp Intervention. Culturally Meaningful MTSS courses coach educators through designing culturally meaningful MTSS practices across tiers, using the LEARN framework and practical tools.
There is a fundamental contradiction with multitiered systems of support in schools. On the one hand, administrators herald their MTSS processes as equitable and justice-oriented, serving all students through a tiered support system. On the other hand, however, teachers do not know how to design culturally meaningful activities.
This contradiction raises three critical questions:
The answer to all three questions is a resounding “no.” Therefore, MTSS models that are not culturally meaningful are inherently flawed, inequitable, and unjust for many culturally diverse learners – no matter how many “evidence-based” practices teachers implement across tiers.
The ability to design culturally meaningful activities is crucial for promoting equity and justice in MTSS practices, as it ensures that all students, regardless of their cultural background, can benefit from the support system.
The LEARN Approach to MTSS coaches teams through designing equitable, justice-oriented, and culturally meaningful practices using MTSS as a guiding tool and framework. The LEARN approach focuses on developing culturally meaningful evidence-based Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and special education activities for students that place their cultural values, community practices, and lived experiences at the center of instruction.
The LEARN Framework Academy offers MTSS online courses to ensure that your team’s MTSS processes are equitable and justice-oriented for all students. We believe that MTSS processes contribute to injustice and inequitable teaching and learning if they are not culturally meaningful across tiers. Such MTSS processes contribute to disciplining and referring culturally diverse learners for special education services at alarming rates.
By the end of our MTSS courses, you will be able to do the following:
Culturally meaningful activities at the tier 1 level,
Design culturally meaningful activities at the tier 2 level,
Design culturally meaningful activities at the tier 3 level,
Consider culturally meaningful approaches to Section 504 and special education supports and services,
