Read Washington is excited to offer our next live webinar, The Science of MTSS: Integrating Your Literacy, Social, Emotional, and Behavioral MTSS Framework, with Dr. Kimberly St. Martin on Saturday, September 28th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PDT.

Integrating your literacy, social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) supports can lead to greater student outcomes. This session will briefly describe the research for integrated supports. Examples of classroom (Tier 1) practices elementary and secondary teachers can use to create safe, predictable, and instructionally engaging environments to prevent and address reading difficulties will be shared. Attention will also be paid to how middle and high school teachers can integrate strategies into core subjects to increase content comprehension before, during, and after reading text used in classes.

This webinar will be recorded. Registration fee includes access to the webinar recording and presentation materials.

Your registration confirmation email will provide the Zoom webinar link.
