MLSS Step-by-Step

Below are the recommended steps that ALL educators and administrators should take when exploring the MLSS and the variety of ways it is built to support holistic student success.

Step 1

When beginning your journey through MLSS, start by reviewing the NEW MLSS Implementation Guide. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of the various roles that district leadership, school leadership, and collaborative teacher teams (PLCs) have in making sure that holistic student success is realized  through:

• High-Quality Curriculum and Common Interim Assessments
• Daily Differentiated Small Group Instruction
• Layer 1: Universal Student Supports and Progress Monitoring
• Supports for English Learners (Els)
• Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Instruction
• Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Behavioral Supports
• Layer 2: Targeted Interventions and Progress Monitoring
• Layer 2: Health and Wellness Teams
• Layer 3: Intensive Interventions and Progress Monitoring
• Layer 3: Non-punitive System of Behavioral Supports

Step 2

In response to growing demands for asynchronous learning opportunities for MLSS, the PED has developed a NEW suite of courses available through Canvas. These courses provide a unique opportunity for participants to receive certification of their understanding of MLSS while establishing avenues for educators to interact with other educators throughout the state.
