ESU 9 in Partnership with Kris Kampovitz and Mandy McClure, NeMTSS
This two-day workshop supports district and school teams in developing focused, data-driven action plans using a structured problem-solving process aligned to CIP, MTSS, and special education improvement efforts.
Teams will engage in each step of the problem-solving model—from root cause analysis to clear action steps—through modeled examples and guided time to apply the process using your own data. The experience is designed to strengthen alignment across plans and support districts navigating multiple requirements or improvement efforts.
Participants will leave with clear priorities and a draft or refined action plan ready for implementation.
Who Should Attend?
District and school teams, including:
- District Administrators and Principals
- MTSS, CIP, and instructional leadership teams
- Special education leaders
- Schools or districts with classifications, designations, or determinations
Teams are encouraged to attend together and bring access to relevant data.

WHAT IS UFLI FOUNDATIONS?
UFLI Foundations is an explicit and systematic program created by the team at the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI-pronounced "you fly"). The program introduces students to the foundational reading skills necessary for proficient reading. It follows a carefully developed scope and sequence designed to ensure that students systematically acquire each skill needed and learn to apply each skill with automaticity and confidence. The program is designed to be used for core instruction in the primary grades or for intervention with struggling students in any grade.
For the UFLI Foundations Implementation Training, we recommend that each participant bring their UFLI Foundations manual, a set of manipulative letters, a whiteboard, and a marker for practice opportunities. Participants may also want to bring a pen/pencil and post it notes/tabs.
