Moving to a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) requires deliberate implementation in order for it to work. After all, if the teachers in a school don’t monitor the same data or follow the same processes for intervention, then the inconsistency could sink the initiative.

And while ongoing training is essential for all staff, district leaders during the edLeader Panel “How to Build an MTSS Handbook for Your School or District” advocated for a well-thought-out MTSS handbook. With the right structure and maintenance, the handbook can lead to sustainability and success.
