  Culturally Responsive Practices

  Guided by DPI’s Model to Inform Culturally Responsive Practices (CRP) and the work of various CRP scholars of color, CESA 2 Curriculum & Coaching Consultants are available to support educators in exploration of the CRP tenets of relational trust, cultural competence, equitable access to high level learning, recognizing and honoring students’ identities, fostering criticality through multiple perspectives, and agency to create change. Working to embrace these asset-based approaches in conjunction with examining and disrupting implicit bias and inequitable systems is a journey upon which CESA 2 consultants would be honored to partner with educators. Ongoing onsite coaching inspires long-term shifts in practice that positively impact school culture and practices.

  Equitable Multi-Level System of Support (E-MLSS)

  Equitable Multi-Level System of Support (E-MLSS) is a process for achieving higher levels of academic and behavioral success for all students. It is an overarching framework and logic for organizing and increasing the efficiency with which evidence-based practices are selected, organized, integrated, implemented, and adapted.

  In Wisconsin’s vision for E-MLSS, the three essential elements of high-quality instruction, balanced assessment, and collaboration systematically interact within a multi-level system of support to provide the structures to increase success for all students. Culturally responsive practices are central to an effective E-MLSS system and are evident within each of the three essential elements. In a Multi-level System of Support, schools employ the three essential elements of E-MLSS at varying levels of intensity based upon student responsiveness to instruction and intervention. These elements do not work in isolation. Rather, all components of the visual model inform and are impacted by the others. Taken together, this relationship forms Wisconsin’s vision for E-MLSS.
