The Palmetto Education Summit 2026

A well-planned and implemented Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) will ensure that goals, resources, and practices are aligned and cohesive, ensuring positive student outcomes. Data turns MTSS from a framework into a force. When goals, resources, and practices line up with what your data is telling you, students grow. This session digs into how to use data at every layer of MTSS: universal screening, progress monitoring, tiered decisions, and where you put your time and money. MTSS is way more than tiered instruction. It runs on intentional planning, regular data review, and deliberate choices that keep student outcomes at the center of every call. Growth takes work. Big growth happens when the system is strong, and the system gets strong when data leads.
