Online MTSS Learning Series

The Integrated Academic & Behavior Systems (IABS) Team intentionally designed online training modules to be utilized in conjunction with real-time processing and application within a team, such as a PLC or school/district leadership team, and with coaching support. The Online modules created by the IABS Division are not intended for individuals to complete and implement on their own. Even though many district or school team members go through the content individually, it is expected that the content will then be discussed and implemented through established teaming structures.
