Abstract / Overview
NY CEEDAR State Leadership Team collaborated with NYS Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) to create and use an MTSS-I Innovation Configuration.
This self-assessment tool helps educator preparation providers determine the extent to which essential practices of MTSS-I are taught, applied, and practiced by candidates within preparation programs. This panel will share processes and outcomes of self-evaluation.

Overall Take-Aways, TIPS, & Possible Points to Consider
Structured process provides a framework that allows you to reflect & impact thinking.
Provides way to engage in continuous improvement.
Tips:
Ideally individual faculty who teach course review & enter their own syllabi
Flexibility by program
Awareness of our own knowledge and application gaps that may need to be filled.
i.e., Pre-teaching vocabulary & concepts related to MTSS-I (professional development), as needed before / during process.
Points to Consider:
IC elements may/may not align to institutional philosophy
MTSS-I looks different (and thus preparation is different) depending on grade level
How to integrate MTSS system for academics AND social/emotional behavioral (i.e.., what are the systems to apply concepts & processes to enact the ideas in IC)
How are teachers applying this in real world (both from a terminology and procedural perspective)
