Welcome to MTSS Cohort 3!
The Montana Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) State Personnel Development Grant is excited to welcome aboard seven new districts from CSPD Regions 4 and 5 for Cohort 3. We are thrilled to be working with these school districts: Alberton, Clinton, Eureka, East Helena, Fair-Mont-Egan, Manhattan Public Schools, & Smith Valley.
These new sites are in good company with Cohort 2 (Cascade, Dutton-Brady, Havre, Lavina, Lewistown, Park City, & Vaughn) beginning their second year of support moving towards strong Districtwide MTSS implementation in Regions 2 and 3. They'll have great leaders to learn from with Cohort 1 (Bainville, Circle, & Glendive) really making strides in Region 1.
We are proud of the commitment of these 17 schools, who will receive MTSS systems level coaching and professional development support through 2025. All training modules developed under the SPDG will be available for the public on our MTSS website and eventually through the Learning Hub. Our coaches will also be providing sessions at OPI Summer Institute to increase MTSS implementation statewide.
