Connecting Educators

Data Based Problem Solving CoP

The goal of this Community of Practice is for any member of a team using data to problem solve in an MTSS framework to engage in networking with other practitioners across the state! We will engage in practicing the problem solving process using real data and provide support for MTSS implementation.
