Overview
The NeMTSS team offers a series of in-person workshops to support implementation of the NeMTSS Framework and to help schools/districts build an infrastructure for supporting staff and students in the continuous improvement process. Participants are guided through exploration, organization, implementation of core practices, implementation of targeted and intensified practices, and action planning for continuous improvement. NeMTSS Framework workshops are held in collaboration with Educational Service Units (ESUs) to best support the needs of districts, schools and programs that serve PK-12 students across Nebraska. These workshops can be facilitated regionally at ESUs, providing leadership teams with tailored support in their journey to implement the essential elements of the NeMTSS Framework.
