2. 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.
