Additional Information
“This is the MTSS book I've been waiting for! Using the problem-solving model as the ‘engine’ of MTSS, the authors provide a comprehensive explanation of the relevant variables that impact learning, as well as the practical tools required for building effective systems of behavioral and academic support for all students. This book will empower educators with accurate and actionable information to counteract the many misunderstandings about MTSS.”
“The use of data is a fundamental component of MTSS. The authors provide practical strategies for educators to effectively use data to inform their actions. MTSS team members at the schoolwide level to the individual student level will find this book useful in promoting meaningful outcomes for each and all students. A must read for those implementing MTSS within schools.”
“This book includes the critical components for effective data-based decision making with tons of resources and examples to support practitioners. Just as I would think to myself ‘I hope they include this,’ the information would be there! If you’re just beginning to implement data-based decision making, or fine tuning your processes, this is the book for you. I think this book would be great for pre-service teachers, too, and look forward to using it in one of my undergraduate courses.”
