Your Team Doesn’t Need Another Conference
Your team needs time, structure, and expert support to move the work forward.
By the middle of the school year, leadership teams have data, emerging student needs, competing priorities, and important decisions to make—but rarely enough uninterrupted time to make sense of everything together.
IMA Team Time is a facilitated working retreat built around your team, your students, your data, and your current goals.
Across three full days, your team will:
Strengthen its communication, norms, roles, and decision-making processes
Clarify how MTSS teaming connects with and strengthens current collaborative teaming structures
Examine your student outcomes and implementation data
Refine goals for instructional improvement
Strengthen progress-monitoring processes
Evaluate assessment practices and movement between tiers
Align next steps with existing and future strategic and improvement plans
Leave with a practical, shared plan for moving forward
This is not three days of presentations. It is three days of guided learning, honest reflection, expert consultation, and meaningful team planning.
Three Days. One Coherent Improvement Process.
January 27-29, 2027
Day 1: Teams, Assessment & Data
Strengthen how your team works together while clarifying the assessment tools, processes, and decision rules that guide MTSS. Teams will review student and implementation data, integrate academic and SEL decision-making within their PLC structures, and establish measurable student-outcome goals.
Day 2: Instruction, Support & Problem Solving
Move from data to improved practice across the full tiered continuum. Teams will strengthen Tier 1 instruction and supportive learning environments, refine intervention and progress-monitoring systems, and apply a consistent problem-solving process as student needs intensify.
Specialized breakouts will address mathematics, early literacy, secondary literacy, supportive learning environments, school psychology and special-education eligibility decisions.
Day 3: Coherence, Alignment & Sustainability
Bring the work together by clarifying movement across tiers, aligning MTSS with current organizational goals, and translating priorities into an actionable improvement plan. The final half-day will focus on cross-system sharing, sustainable implementation, defined responsibilities, and clear next steps.
One Retreat. Three Leadership Pathways.
Specialized facilitators will help each team address its most important MTSS priorities at the appropriate level of the system.
