This session aims to empower educators to strengthen Tier 1 instruction for English Learner (EL) students by integrating culturally responsive and equitable practices within a proactive Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework. Participants will learn how to structure an MTSS system that supports Tier 1 to be proactive rather than merely reactionary, enabling them to effectively anticipate and address EL students' diverse needs. The session will delve into assessment and monitoring components tailored for EL learners, equipping teachers with tools to track progress and make informed instructional decisions. By building the capacity of teachers and reinforcing the difference they can make, an inclusive classroom environment is fostered where all students achieve.
