The Iowa Department of Education, in collaboration with Heartland AEA is offering at no cost an opportunity to learn about the MTSS for Advanced Learner Guide and ways to begin implementing its use for K-12 grade classroom teachers. The Advanced Learner Multi-tiered System of Support Guide was created to assist classroom teachers, ensuring all students are appropriately challenged. The Guide is written content neutral and can be used across disciplines for K-12 grade learners.
Districts are encouraged to bring teams comprised of general education elementary classroom teachers, secondary educators, a counselor, teacher leaders, a building administrator and the g/t teachers. District teams will have time to work on a district/building plan throughout the day.
