WiMLSS Project

What is the WiMLSS Project?

The WiMLSS Project is an IDEA funded contract to improve outcomes for students with disabilities. As stated on the DPI website, an MLSS includes the systems and structures used by a district and/or school in order to ensure the provision of “services, practices, and resources to each and every learner”. . . including “high quality instruction, strategic use of data, and collaboration”. The WiMLSS Project provides low- or no-cost professional learning, coaching, and technical assistance for schools and districts related to Wisconsin’s Framework for Multi-Level Systems of Supports.

Who is involved in the WiMLSS Project?

Any Wisconsin school or district team can contact their CESA to work with the WiMLSS Project. Priority will be given to:

Districts with LEA Determinations for IDEA (such as Level 2 schools)

WiMLSS Project Staff

WiMLSS Project staff (called WiMLSS Coaches) will collaborate with DPI, other CESA staff and structures (including but not limited to the TA or Technical Assistance Network), and other IDEA-funded projects (such as the Regional Support Network) to ensure school improvement efforts are continuous and cohesive.

Services from the WiMLSS Project are CESA-based. Contact your local CESA for more information. To learn the CESA region a school district resides in, look up the district in the School Directory.
