Adapting MTSS for Multilingual Students: Tiered Supports that Grow Language & Learning

Many schools implement MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports), but these frameworks often overlook the linguistic needs of multilingual learners. Without intentional language scaffolds, interventions may not accelerate language development or lead to academic success. In this session, explore how to embed language accommodations across all three tiers of support. Learn how to modify interventions, choose valid assessments, and ensure equity for multilingual students in both general and specialized instruction.

Participants will develop concrete examples of Tier 1, 2, and 3 supports tailored for multilingual students and a list of possible assessments
