MTSS for Behavior: A Practical Guide for School & District Leaders
Everything a leader needs to build and sustain a behavior-focused MTSS system, in one place.
This comprehensive guide is the practical implementation resource behind everything else in this Resource Library. It covers the full arc of MTSS-B: the tiered behavior pyramid and how students move between tiers, function-based problem solving (why behavior happens and how to match support to it), team roles and meeting structure, the referral process, professional development models, and how to measure impact and fidelity along the way.
A few themes run through the whole guide: interventions should be matched to the function of the behavior, not just its topography; fidelity checks should be treated as supportive, not evaluative; and a strong Tier 1 foundation, not more Tier 2/3 interventions, is usually the highest-leverage fix for a struggling system. It also makes equity a running thread throughout, with recurring guidance on disaggregating data to catch disparities in discipline and access to support.
