Ensure that Every Child Achieves Academic and Social Success
An equity-based multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) helps school teams engage all students across the full range of learning needs. MTSS ensures that the vision of equity for every student is achieved, with high expectations and quality instruction, while not straining a school’s budget or personnel.
Amy Mc Cart and Dawn Miller seek to transform education so that it benefits educators, students, their families, and ultimately the communities in which they live. The authors do this by providing tools and methods to implement equity-based MTSS to improve academic, behavior and social outcomes for all students. This strategy-filled book teaches you how to
• Engage all students in learning through an equity-based approach
• Analyze and utilize your resources
• Apply strengths- and evidence-based principles for implementation
• Incorporate effective tools to systematize MTSS
Authentic examples across multiple grade levels and subjects contextualize the proven method presented in this book. The authors draw on their experience as SWIFT Education Center professional developers to guide you into creating an MTSS tailored to be effective for your student body.

Об авторе
Dawn Miller, Ph.D. is Associate Director of Technical Assistance of SWIFT Education Center at the University of Kansas. Her early career focused on creating local educational support processes that address student needs and support educators and families. This experience evolved into a role in statewide implementation of a problem-solving process and, ultimately, to her home state’s Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) program. As part of these efforts, Dr. Miller was on a committee that led state regulatory changes regarding Child Find and eligibility of children in the community for special education services, and helped to translate these changes into district procedures linked to MTSS. She also had the opportunity to serve as a district team member leading the planning, staff development, implementation, and evaluation of MTSS. Further, Dr. Miller is part of a national network of like-minded individuals and state agencies who share a vision for and systems approach to supporting student success. She is most appreciative of the extraordinary educators with whom she has had the privilege to work in schools, districts, states, and nationally. Together with them, she strives daily to support the notion of “all students – all systems.”
