OSPI is partnering with the National Center on Intensive Intervention (NCII) to bring some outstanding national and state speakers together for two days with the goal to provide individuals and teams at any stage of implementation of MTSS the knowledge, information, and resources needed to develop, enhance, or sustain an integrated MTSS framework that supports each student, family, and educator.

  Dr. Sharon Vaughn, University of Texas at Austin, and Dr. Brandi Simonsen, University of Connecticut, are the keynote speakers this year.

 There will be over 30 breakout sessions from national and state experts and district, school, and early childhood MTSS implementers. Team planning time has been scheduled throughout the conference. Join us at MTSS Fest 2018!

Educating the Whole Child: Improving School Climate to Support Student Success

Learning institute

New knowledge about human development from neuroscience and the sciences of learning and development demonstrates that effective learning depends on secure attachments; affirming relationships; rich, hands-on learning experiences; and explicit integration of social, emotional, and academic skills. A positive school environment supports students’ growth across all the developmental pathways—physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and emotional—while it reduces stress and anxiety that create biological impediments to learning. Such an environment takes a "whole child" approach to education, seeking to address the distinctive strengths, needs, and interests of students as they engage in learning.
