Description
The purpose of this presentation is to use research to connect the training and expertise of school psychologists to a rationale that we are ideally positioned to lead the efforts of trauma-informed multitiered systems of support (TI-MTSS) in schools. Framed in the 10 Core Area guidelines by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, we operationalize the school psychologist’s role and skills within each domain. Practitioners will gain information to support their implementation of TI-MTSS.
