Empowering Education Leaders to Transform Student Wellbeing 

In today’s educational landscape, wellbeing is a critical priority for both students and staff. This immersive, practical virtual institute is designed for education leaders who are committed to creating sustainable, effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) that promote wellbeing and address mental and behavioral health challenges. 

EDC's MTSS for Wellbeing Summer Institute will maximize your time with two half-day virtual sessions designed to deepen your application of the elements of a successful MTSS for wellbeing. Education leaders, including superintendents, principals, and district-level leaders, will engage in a needs assessment and supports inventory. Our experts will provide concrete strategies and tools you can bring back to your school or district. There will be a balance of whole-group sessions and focus area breakouts.

What You’ll Gain 

The Summer Insititute will equip education leaders with concrete tools and strategies for designing, implementing, and sustaining an MTSS framework for wellbeing across a district or school.  

By the end of our two-day summer institute, you will: 

• Define the core elements of an effective MTSS structure that prioritizes wellbeing 
• Get targeted support in a focus area of your choice: Suicide & Substance Misuse Prevention, Educator Wellbeing, Attendance & Chronic Absenteeism
• Explore the current supports available for students and staff in your school/district
• Engage in collaborative work to draft a vision and concrete goals to guide your district’s MTSS design, implementation, and sustainability
• Apply concrete resources and tools that you can use with your team
• Access one hour of free coaching per individual or team following the event
