COUN 502 Multitiered Systems for School Counselor
Description: School counselors encourage and support the academic, career and social/emotional development of all students including those with disabilities and other special needs. Multitiered System of Supports (MTSS), is empirically programming that addresses the diverse needs of all students. Components include but are not limited to response to intervention (RTI) and responsive positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). MTSS is a culturally responsive, evidence-based framework implemented in K-12 schools that uses data-based problem solving to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and intervention at tiered intensities to improve the learning and social/emotional functioning of all students (ASCA, 2016, 2018; Sink, 2016). In this course students will learn the components of MTSS and how to implement them in their school counseling programs to positively impact the academic and behavioral success of all students.
