WASA and OSPI are excited to announce a call for presenters for Washington’s Integrated MTSS Conference. The conference title is Empowering Excellence: Co-Designing Systems through Instructional Leadership. It will be held on the campus of Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman July 31, 2024 - August 2, 2024.
Please review the details below and consider submitting a proposal to present at the conference.
With our theme of Empowering Excellence: Co-Designing Systems through Instructional Leadership, topics of interest to the Conference Committee include best practices and approaches that address the strands listed below:
- Family, Student & Community Engagement
- Reducing Restraint & Eliminating Isolation
- Student Well-being & Mental Health
- Tiered Academic Supports
Concurrent sessions on Day 1 will feature strand content with a focus on role-like groupings. Days 2 & 3 concurrent sessions will feature strand content geared towards collaborative teams.
Sessions are Sixty (60) minutes each and should engage participants in meaningful discussions and share viable experiences resulting in individual growth and/or systems improvement specific to a Multi-tiered System of Supports. Preference will be given to sessions that model collaboration through co-presentation and ensure students are at the center of their session content.
The conference will provide the following session support:
- Projector and projection screen
- Presentation remote/clicker
- One handheld mic per breakout room
- Sound from laptop
- Tech support
Please bring your presentation on laptop, and any other items needed to support your presentation.
Session materials are due by July 17, 2024. Materials will be uploaded to the app for attendee access. *Presenters may also provide hard-copy handouts as desired.
Presenters are encouraged to register and participate in the conference. However, presenters coming solely to present their session do not need to register. Regretfully, due to budget restrictions, we are not able to offer compensation to our presenters.
Notifications will be delivered via email the week of May 13, 2024.
