Written in a user-friendly manner, it encourages and promotes teams to engage in educating and helping all students, providing a clear model of how to initiate a dialogue about equity and incorporate MTSS into schools."
Debbee Garcia, Middle School Principal, Secrist Middle School, AZ
"The implementation of MTSS seems daunting to many, but this book is a valuable resource that will demystify and empower staff to engage in the development process. By using clear examples of districts and schools that implemented MTSS in a cost-effective manner, the authors provide a great service to the reader and the educational community."
Dr. Chris Hubbuch, Director of Secondary Education, St. Joseph School District, MO
"The authors provide clear steps that a school may take to implement MTSS with an equity focus, along with with tools that can be used to keep students in a classroom with a general education curriculum. The result is a guide that is both practical and useful."
Ronda Mitchell, Assistant Professor of Teacher Education, University of Illinois at Springfield
"This book provides tools to ease a burden that plagues many schools with large numbers of students needing services while having limited resources. This is especially beneficial to guide schools through the inventory and planning process of implementing MTSS, which can seem like an insurmountable task when numbers are large."
Charlotte LaHaye, Curriculum Coordinator, Schools of the Sacred Heart, LA
