How it Works

MTSS-B Coaching Certification is offered at three levels, each of which requires additional evidence of your coaching in key MTSS-B implementation tasks. Certification is a continuous process, allowing you to submit additional portfolio materials as you complete them to work toward higher certification levels. To achieve MTSS-B Level 1 Coaching Certification, complete all of the Basic Requirements and upload sufficient Portfolio Documentation demonstrating experience in the required practices to reach a minimum score of 53%. Once you achieve MTSS-B Level 1 Coaching Certification, you can advance by continually building your portfolio. Submit additional documentation in any order until you reach the required score for the next level. Specific information for each level is provided below.

Basic Requirements

The following basic requirements must be met to receive any NH MTSS-B Coaching Certification level:

A description of your coaching experience in MTSS-B or a related framework
Documentation of participation in a NH MTSS-B Technical Assistance Center MTSS-B Framework training series or equivalent alternate training. Alternate training must be a curriculum-based training from a recognized organization in one or more of the following frameworks: Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS), Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and/or the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF)
Submission of a Professional Reference from a stakeholder who is familiar with your competency as an MTSS-B coach. You must receive an 80% minimum score on the reference.
