Practical tools built from 30 years in schools — checklists, guides, and templates you can use Monday morning. No email required.
These are the things I wish I'd had when I was running MTSS in my own building. I make them because school leaders deserve better than cobbled-together spreadsheets. Take them, use them, share them.
A two-page, team-level checklist for closing out this year's MTSS work and setting up next year. Covers intervention cases, data handoff, carryover students, system changes, and calendar anchors. Most useful May through early June.
Twenty questions, four domains, one honest look at whether your Tier 1 system is holding. Core Instruction, Behavior & Culture, Data & Screening, Team Systems. Take it on screen with live scoring, or download the PDF for a team walkthrough.
The hardest conversations in intervention work aren't with students. Language for five of them — what works, and what to avoid. Not scripts to recite, starting points you can adapt.
The quiet signals that a student — or a system — is drifting out of Tier 1, long before the data catches up. 10 signals across three layers: the students in front of you, the systems around them, and the paper trail behind them.
The 12 items every Tier 2/3 intervention should have on file. Four sections, one page, print-ready. The documentation checklist that serves your daily workflow and holds up when someone asks.
Next up: a Tier 2 fidelity check and a guide to running a productive SST in 30 minutes. If there's something specific you wish existed, tell me.
