The Dynamic Duo of MTSS and the Science of Reading
Educators take reading instruction personally. Finding the approach that clicks with your students can be challenging.
That's why this course starts by unraveling the essentials of MTSS and the science of reading, providing you with a strong foundation for supporting every student’s learning and ultimately improving reading outcomes.
Mastering Assessment to Create Readers
Feeling lost in assessment jargon? Let’s demystify assessments and embrace them as powerful tools for really understanding and elevating your students' reading skills.
Learn how to choose, administer, and respond to the assessments used in MTSS. With a strong understanding of why we screen and measure progress, you can effectively apply your data in tiered reading instruction for improved reading outcomes.
Designing Tiered Reading Instruction That Works
Tailoring instruction can be tough with so many students at, above, and below grade-level expectations.
In this course, educators will learn to develop tiered instructional systems that meet each student at their level, making their teaching impactful and inclusive.
You’ll learn how to maximize instructional minutes by inviting all available educators to the table and working in small groups for big results.
“With Georgia’s new literacy legislation, we needed ideas on how to merge the new requirements with our existing RTI/MTSS process. I liked that Stephanie’s MTSS Course was self-paced, and I could complete it whenever I wanted. The course reaffirmed that we need to focus our efforts on Tier 1 instruction and help us make plans to address it. I would recommend the MTSS Course to other educators. It was easy to complete and yielded a lot of valuable resources and ideas. Stephanie was easy to work with!”

“Curriculum directors and district-level coaches were requesting professional development around data literacy and MTSS, which led me to Dr. Stollar’s MTSS Course.
The course is filled with applicable resources, like the collaborative problem-solving model, structured into manageable chunks that allow for learning and reflection.
It has refined educators’ lenses to use universal screening data more accurately to inform instruction. I recommend this course, and I always keep a few licenses on hand for educators needing training in MTSS so I can offer them a high-quality resource.
Dr. Stollar has a gift for breaking down complex content into bite-sized, teacher-friendly packages!”
