Child Study: A Montessori-Based Approach to Tiered Systems of Support

1.5 CPDs, Run Time 36:53

Most children in public Montessori schools are successfully served through fully-implemented Montessori practice taking place within the classroom. This means that every child is receiving personalized instruction; observation is informing decisions; and needs arising throughout a given day or week are addressed by the classroom teachers.

At one point or another, students will need different or additional support to have a successful classroom experience. In Child Study—an integrated Montessori-based approach to Response to Intervention (RTI) and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)—NCMPS offers a framework for implementing different levels of intervention which align with Montessori philosophy.

This presentation provides Montessorians with an introduction to this child-centered, asset-based approach to tiered intervention.
