MTSS: Prevention before Intervention

What if the key to reducing student intervention needs isn't more interventions... but stronger prevention?

Across the country, schools are working hard to implement MTSS, but many are stuck in a reactive cycle—pouring time and resources into interventions while Tier 1 supports go underdeveloped. The result? Overwhelmed systems, missed early warning signs, and growing gaps in equity and outcomes. But it doesn’t have to be this way. This dynamic session flips the script by spotlighting prevention as the powerhouse of a strong MTSS framework. By investing in Tier 1 universal supports, schools can shift from reactive to proactive—identifying student needs earlier, reducing reliance on intensive interventions, and creating a foundation where all students can thrive. Join us to discover practical strategies, collaborative tools, and fresh insights that will empower your team to strengthen Tier 1, boost equity, and maximize the impact of MTSS—starting now.
