  • 13. What Could MTSS Look Like in Schools?
    Feb 1 2023

    Is MTSS just a thing you have to do? Do you think time consuming when you think of MTSS meetings? Are you frustrated, feeling like these meetings are more a hindrance to getting things done than a help? When you think about students who need supports, do you think that MTSS is getting in the way of students getting what they need, especially when you think the student needs special education services? Maybe you think of MTSS meetings as a pain in the neck with hoops, massive paperwork that is all just a waste of time that just stresses you out. 

    If this is how you view MTSS, then this episode if for you! Let’s talk about your vision for MTSS and what it could or should look like in your school today!

  • 12: All Schools Should Offer Tiered Supports
    Jan 25 2023

    Does your school offer tiered supports? I’m not talking about just setting aside intervention time and asking teachers to provide interventions. I’m talking about having a plan for different levels of supports available as students need it. That includes a plan to provide training to teachers on programs that meet specific needs, or provide materials for those programs to teachers as their students need them. 

    So, back to my questions….does your school offer tiered supports? Today, let’s talk about what this really means and why it is vital to a successfully progressing school culture.

  • 11: How to Introduce Response to Intervention to New Teachers
    Jan 18 2023


    Let’s be honest, new teachers are in need of so much professional development when they start out. Most of it needs to be on the school processes and how to survive the first few months of school. One of the things that needs to be introduced is response to intervention within the MTSS process.

    It is tricky to introduce another new topic to new teachers because they are so overwhelmed, yet at the same time there are processes and procedures that need to be followed. So, let’s talk about how to introduce RTI to new teachers in a way that supports them in their work as they navigate their first year of teaching. 

    Adding another training, another “thing” to their plates is almost cruel….but new teachers DO understand that students are different and need various levels of support and different kinds of instruction to be most successful. By training new teachers on how MTSS and RTI can help them better meet the needs of their students, we help them to learn valuable tools that they can use their entire careers.
