Program Overview
In this nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) learning module the learner will gain an understanding of how Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS), Response to Intervention (RTI), and Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) are related. In the module the learner will gain an understanding of how the WSCC model and NASN’s FrameworkTM are aligned with the MTSS framework to support the physical, mental, and social needs of all students. The learner will also understand the differences between the three tiers of MTSS and identify strategies to use when implementing the three tiers in school health services to support student physical and mental health and meet social needs using an elementary school case study.

Learning Outcomes

  • List five ways the WSCC model and NASN’s FrameworkTM align with the MTSS framework.
  • Identify how each tier of the MTSS framework can promote health equity for all students.
  • Self-report intention to incorporate two strategies from each tier of the MTSS framework to implement a multi-tiered approach in school health services to support student physical and mental health in the next six months.
