Full Description
Why are some schools able to implement and sustain a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS), while others struggle to keep momentum going? This concise book cuts through the complexity with five clear principles to keep MTSS on track. Using humor, everyday examples, and pop culture references, MTSS expert Jason Harlacher demystifies technical aspects of implementation while also addressing the human side of change. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes 20 reproducible and downloadable forms and hands-on activities to put each principle into action. Harlacher shows how to make MTSS implementation more successful--by keeping it simple.
This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
