SUMMARY:Using Response to Intervention (RTI) to Evaluate Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD)
DESCRIPTION:By the 2028-2029 school year\, evaluation teams need to adopt a Response to Intervention (RTI) approach to identify students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) for special education services. In this pre-conference workshop\, Dr. Susan Ruby will provide an overview with actionable steps and considerations for evaluating and writing reports using an RTI approach. The workshop will highlight key activities that school psychologists may take to assist their teams and buildings in establishing consistent and effective RTI practices.

SUMMARY:Where Federal & State Policy Meets District Reality
DESCRIPTION:Federal and state policy can read very differently from a Washington\, D.C. memo than it does from a director’s office in a Washington school district. This opening session brings the policy lens and the practitioner lens into the same room. Drawing on her experience leading special education at both the federal and state levels\, Glenna Gallo will walk through the policy pressures shaping our work right now — from IDEA implementation to state-level guidance — and where directors are feeling the friction between intent and execution. Expect a candid look at what is shifting\, what is staying the same\, and where district leaders have leverage. The session is designed to set context for the rest of the day and to surface the questions you will want to keep asking.

SUMMARY:Unpacking Difficult Conversations: Community Complaints & Due Process — Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Building on the morning’s framework\, this focused 30-minute follow-up turns toward application. Together we’ll work through choice points drawn from real Washington districts — the early family meeting that did or did not happen\, the documentation that did or did not exist\, the response that calmed or escalated — and pull out a working set of practices for managing complaints and due process matters in ways that protect students\, support staff\, and preserve relationships with families wherever possible.

SUMMARY:Finance 101
DESCRIPTION:For directors who are new to special education finance in Washington — or who want a clean refresher on the fundamentals — this session walks through the building blocks: how Program 267 works\, where special education dollars actually come from at the state and federal levels\, an introduction to Safety Net and Maintenance of Effort\, and the questions a director should be able to answer about their own program’s budget. You’ll leave with the literacy you need to read your budget\, partner with your business office\, and know what to ask next. Directors looking for a deeper dive into Safety Net\, MOE\, and other advanced topics may prefer the concurrent Beyond the Basics session.

SUMMARY:Finance: Beyond the Basics
DESCRIPTION:For directors who already know their way around Program 267 and are ready to go deeper. This session takes on the financial questions that don’t have easy answers — especially the ones rising to the top of every director’s list right now. We’ll work through budgeting in tough times\, including how to hold programs together through student enrollment decline\; the Safety Net process and what makes for a strong application\; the benefits of Voluntary CEIS funding\; the realities of staying within Maintenance of Effort\; and the strategy of blending and braiding funding streams so every dollar reaches students. Bring real examples from your district — we’ll work through them together.

SUMMARY:One System\, Not Two: Implementing Integrated Student Supports through MTSS
DESCRIPTION:How do MTSS and the Washington Integrated Student Supports Protocol fit together in practice? This session helps district and program leaders move from parallel efforts to a coherent system. We will clarify what MTSS is—and is not—as a systems framework\, and how it supports the design and implementation of integrated student supports. Through examples and guided reflection\, participants will examine how leadership teams\, data systems\, and building-level plans align to meet LAP requirements. We will also offer practical entry points for districts at any stage—whether beginning with MTSS or leveraging the Protocol as a driver for system alignment. Participants will leave with concrete next steps to strengthen coherence across initiatives.

SUMMARY:Start Strong\, Stay Strong: Attendance Matters
DESCRIPTION:Attendance is an important element in the MTSS framework. If students are not attending school it not only has an impact on them individually\, but others as well. This session will explore systems work around builiding postiive attendance habits from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Based on NCESD's ATTEND Network and current research around attendance messaging participants will understand the importance of starting early\, using language to encourage\, not discourage families\, and gainiing momentum throughout the year.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Tier 1: Reducing Escalation and Exclusion Through Systemwide Support
DESCRIPTION:Secondary schools often rely on individualized\, reactive responses that escalate behavior and increase exclusionary discipline. What if support was designed systemwide instead? This session explores how strong Tier 1 systems—predictable environments\, shared adult responses\, and integrated SEL—reduce escalation and reliance on exclusion. Grounded in MTSS and RREI\, participants will learn how to shift from individual intervention to collective responsibility.

SUMMARY:Curriculum Implementation Leadership: An Enabling Context for Inclusive Systems
DESCRIPTION:Many principals describe curriculum use in their schools as "hodge-podge" or "all over the place\," revealing a structural barrier that undermines the coherence and consistency inclusive systems require. Inequitable Tier 1 access perpetuates the very disparities MTSS is designed to eliminate. Drawing on implementation science and the enabling contexts needed to create conditions for success\, this session reimagines the principal's role as a leader of curriculum implementation\, equipping participants with four concrete leadership investments to sustain truly inclusive systems.

SUMMARY:Knowing What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do: The Making of an Expert Teacher
DESCRIPTION:Teaching is a profession defined by uncertainty that no amount of training can prepare you for. Classrooms are complex environments where lessons rarely unfold exactly as planned\, where students respond in unexpected ways\, and where new challenges continually emerge—from shifting curricula to the rapid rise of technologies such as AI. In these moments\, the most effective teachers aren’t simply those with a large repertoire of strategies. They are those who know what to do when they don’t immediately know what to do. This is the hallmark of expert teaching. The natural question\, then\, is: How do teachers develop this kind of expertise?\n\nPart of the answer lies in recognising that teaching is both a science and a craft and both need to be continually developed and honed\, long after initial teacher education has been completed. This path to expertise development requires ongoing intentional and effortful commitment to growth. Some teachers rely primarily on gaining more experience in the classroom\, others on continuous professional development and training. A third pathway—deliberate practice—focuses on consciously and systematically improving specific aspects of instruction. This keynote explores how these different routes shape teacher development\, and why deliberate practice may offer a particularly powerful way of strengthening teachers’ ability to make effective instructional decisions over time.\n\n

SUMMARY:What’s Missing in MTSS Implementation? Building Sustainable Systems\, Culture\, and Practice
DESCRIPTION:MTSS\, 504\, and special education systems often develop alongside one another\, sometimes creating overlapping expectations that strain staff capacity and generate procedural fragmentation. This may stem from limited attention to how systems interact and from underestimating the role strong Tier 1 instruction plays in reducing pressure on intervention structures. This session shares how a rural district designed its systems to better nest within one another\, striving toward greater coherence\, staff efficacy\, and intervention fidelity while offering practical strategies for aligning these systems.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Tiered Pyramid: Driving Sustainable Change through Leadership and Well-being
DESCRIPTION:Implementing a Social-Emotional and Behavioral (SEB) MTSS framework is often viewed as the definitive roadmap for student success\, yet many districts find these initiatives stalling at the "educator buy-in" phase. Why? Because systems are only as strong as the people who power them. This session explores how leadership practices support SEB and Special Education programming to prevent initiative failure.\n \n -Audit implementation friction to diagnose systemic challenges.\n \n -Move beyond mandates to co-designed professional trust.\n \n -Operationalize well-being\, recognizing regulated adults as the primary intervention.\n \n -Align SpEd with MTSS to bridge silos and create unified support

SUMMARY:From "we should" to "we did"; District Implementation Planning that Actually Works
DESCRIPTION:District leaders are great at setting goals—but turning those goals into daily practice is where things often fall apart. In this session\, we’ll unpack what implementation planning really is (and what it is not)\, why it matters for district and implementation teams\, and how it can move your work from aspirational to actionable. Participants will explore how implementation science clarifies roles\, structures\, and next steps—and leave with concrete tools to strengthen follow-through without adding more to their plates.

SUMMARY:From Reflection to Action: Using the Principles & Practices Tool to Build Inclusive MTSS Systems
DESCRIPTION:Most MTSS frameworks ask teams to measure fidelity to structures. But structures don't change systems — people do. In this session\, participants will explore the Principles & Practices Tool\, a self-assessment grounded in appreciative inquiry\, developed through the UW Haring Center's Inclusionary Practices Technical Network. Washington state demonstration site teams share how the P&P Tool shifted conversations from compliance to conviction — creating conditions for more inclusive\, sustainable MTSS implementation rooted in belonging and equity.

SUMMARY:You Can’t Run MTSS on Burnout: Fueling Sustainable Systems and Staff
DESCRIPTION:MTSS effectiveness depends on the people implementing it. When expectations outpace capacity\, even strong systems become inconsistent and difficult to sustain. This interactive session moves beyond awareness into action. Participants will work through a practical tool to identify where misalignment is occurring in their roles and leave with a clear plan to realign expectations\, improve clarity\, and create more sustainable routines—supporting both staff well-being and long-term MTSS implementation.
