It is possibly the most comprehensive book about how to implement MTSS in the schools I have seen. It goes beyond the four pillars and builds an entire house, - Anna Fritts, Ph.D., Gonzaga University and the Washington Education Association -- Anna Fritts * Draft review 2 * A text focused on MTSS including PBIS, RtI, and Social Emotional Learning with updated information about implementation of MTSS and the barriers to its success, - Kelli Henson, Ph.D Nicholls State University -- Kelli Henson * Draft review 2 * I think there are definitely components of this text that are not captured in others. This adds something to what other, comparable texts provide. The discussion questions and case examples also would pair nicely with class engagement, which are also not included in other texts that I have used in the past. I think it is a good overall discuss of MTSS conceptually, - Sarah Harry, Ball State University -- Sarah Harry * Draft review 2 * Well formatted text for student to get a frame of the trajectory of multi-tiered systems and their profound importance, - Tammy J Ladwig, UW Oshkosh -- Tammy J Ladwig * Draft review 2 * This is a text that describes the foundation of MTSS. It provides a brief overview of the policy landscape before discussing the foundational principles of MTSS. After doing this, it describes the core features of MTSS for both academic, behavioral, and social emotional issues. This text provides examples of how to provide support for students at various tiers while determining whether or not services were effective at reducing problems, - Kristine Camacho, Worcester State University -- Kristine Camacho * Draft review 2 * I would describe this book to a colleague in my department as being a source repleted with visuals such as diagrams, flowcharts, etc., to help support content related to the MTSS System. It's an amazing source! - Dr. Janet Grier, Associate Professor Brenau University -- Janet Grier * Draft review 1 *
