MTSS Focus Groups

MTSS Focus Groups  *Participants are asked to register for one virtual focus group session.

Families, caregivers, educators, administrators, and support services personnel are invited to participate in upcoming focus groups to share their perspectives on the current implementation of Scientific Research-Based Interventions (SRBI)/Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS) in schools and districts. As state guidelines and supplemental resources are currently being updated, your voice is essential in helping to shape a shared vision that reflects the strengths, needs, and priorities of Connecticut’s school communities.

These focus groups will provide an opportunity for educators and families, PreK-12, to share lessons learned, offer feedback, and contribute ideas that will inform the evolution of state guidance and development of implementation resources moving forward. We value your insights and encourage your participation in this collaborative process.
