Workshop 2017

In the fall of 2016, the New Jersey Department of Education launched guidance and resources for implementing the New Jersey Tiered System of Supports (NJTSS), a framework of supports and interventions to improve student achievement, based on the core components of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support and the three-tier prevention logic of Response to Intervention (RTI). This session will include a brief overview of the NJTSS framework; resources for getting started with implementation; and will provide an opportunity to hear the experiences of a New Jersey school district currently implementing a tiered approach to intervention. With a foundation of strong district and school leadership, a positive school culture, and climate and family and community engagement, NJTSS builds on I&RS (intervention and referral services) and gives schools structure to meet the academic, behavioral, health, enrichment and social/emotional needs of all students.
