In this episode, Dr. Todd Glover discusses a Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework for addressing early reading, practical strategies for implementing this framework in schools, and the critical role of data in guiding instructional decisions. 

Key Takeaways:

  • MTSS is an antidote to the traditional "wait to fail" model
  • MTSS starts with ensuring tier 1 instruction is sufficiently meeting the needs of students
  • Local leadership teams are the foundational driver of implementation success
  • Data are used to center the student in instructional planning in all tiers of instruction
