Utah’s Universal Supports for MTSS Cathy Callow-Heusser, Ph.D. Education Specialist Utah State Board of Education
First, some history Two previous SPDG grants provided support—at the building level—for RTI/MTSS implementations of evidence-based practices. PBIS Early Literacy Coaching We realized that in order to promote scale-up and sustainability, MTSS practices needed to be supported at the district level. We are now in the final year of our third SPDG grant, for which state-level supports and professional development have largely been provided to LEA teams comprised of LEA and building-level administrators, coaches, and mentor teachers.
