Multi-Tiered System of Supports - Leaders of Learning and Inclusive Education Leaders (22 May 2026)

Thu, 21 May 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Description

The combined Leaders of Learning and Inclusive Education Leaders Network day will provide an opportunity for Leaders to come together to deeply explore our collective approach to ensuring Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) are effectively and consistently embedded across Catholic Schools in South Australia.

This day will feature a keynote presentation by experts in MTSS at the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and will be grounded in research, providing an evidence-based approach to discussions and planning for effective MTSS practices across our schools. Specifically, there will be a focus on:

cognitive similarities and how students learn,
teaching that aligns with how students learn – the components of high-quality Tier 1 instruction,
diverse needs and cognitive differences and
school-wide implementation of multi-tiered systems of support - designing staffing structures (teachers, leaders, specialists and paraprofessionals), timetabling Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions, and optimising instructional intensity.

Led by the Excellence, Equity and Inclusion section, expert guidance will be provided by our Curriculum, Assessment and Pedagogy Team; Diversity and Inclusion Team; and CILAH Team. Participants will have the opportunity to consider current MTSS practices in your school; identified areas of strength and opportunities for growth; consider strategies for improvement; and determination of roles and responsibilities at the school level to ensure effective practices are in place.

Please note: this day is limited to the nominated Leader of Learning and Inclusive Education Leader in each school.

Intended Audience: Leaders of Learning and Inclusive Education Leaders

Facilitators: CESA Curriculum, Assessment and Pedagogy Team, Diversity and Inclusion Team and CILAH Team

Registration Enquiries: Ria Wong - ria.wong@cesa.catholic.edu.au
