District Spotlight: Plymouth-Canton Effective Tier 1 Practices, MTSS & Continuous Data-Based Decision Making, Literacy, Academic Interventions Elementary
Tuesday September 29, 2026 9:40am - 10:50am EDT
“What if every student could thrive in reading?” This session demonstrates how to make that a reality. Grounded in research on the learning hierarchy (Burns, 2018), explicit and systematic reading instruction (Lane, 2020), and MTSS-informed reading practices (Stollar, 2021), participants will explore an evidence-based literacy curriculum, benchmark and diagnostic assessments, and practical MTSS strategies. Attendees will work with real data to design Tier 1, 2, and 3 interventions, turning insights into actionable instruction for all learners.

District Spotlight: Belonging is Contagious: Peer-Powered SEL for Tier 1 (Student Panel)
Tuesday September 29, 2026 11:00am - 12:10pm EDT
This session explores the powerful impact of peer-to-peer leadership in a secondary MTSS framework through the lens of three distinct student-led programs. Participants will discover how Mustang Mentors support freshmen in their academic and social transition to high school through peer mentorship. The presentation also highlights Peer Links, which connects students with and without disabilities across the school day to promote belonging for all students. Furthermore, we will examine how the "Be Nice." team champions mental health awareness to cultivate a proactive and compassionate school climate.

District Spotlight: Plumbing, Not Fire Extinguishing-A Systems Approach to Behavior
Tuesday September 29, 2026 1:50pm - 3:00pm EDT
Too many behavior "systems" are really just a bucket of fire extinguishers — reactive, exhausting, and only used once things have already gone wrong. This session flips the script: we'll walk through how to build the unglamorous-but-essential infrastructure that prevents the fires in the first place, covering all three tiers of an MTSS behavior model. Come ready to think less about crisis response and more about the pipes running quietly behind the scenes — the systems that make calm classrooms possible.
