MASC members are invited to join a free webinar on March 27 "Using Early Warning Indicators to Support Every Student", to hear from experts and practitioners about how schools are using early warning systems (EWS) that are updated daily to address core challenges like reducing chronic absenteeism and assigning tiered interventions, as well as promoting students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) and college/career readiness.
