Core

Courses listed in this section focus on Tier 1 instruction, sometimes called Core or Universal. Strong Core instruction is the foundation of an MTSS.

Introduction to Learning Targets with Brad Niebling

This mini-course will introduce learning targets, discuss the purpose of learning targets within a multi-tiered system of support, address how to develop learning targets, and cover what the characteristics are of high-quality learning targets. As you complete this mini-course, you will be asked to consider what learning targets could look like in your district or school, and what some of the challenges and opportunities are to implement them. You will also have opportunities to reflect on how learning targets can improve the CORE within an MTSS. There are four modules: each should take 10-15 minutes to complete. This mini-course is brought to you by Best Education LLC, an affiliate partner of Public Progress.
