Much of the work of MTSS and school improvement is done by teams and during meetings. Healthy, functioning teams accomplish more with fewer frustrations and setbacks. This course will guide team members and leaders through key considerations and tasks for building a strong team and holding effective meetings. Building on the original version of this course, we have streamlined activities for improved navigation, kept the tools and activities that served participants most, removed those that were not helpful, and added content on family engagement.
