Integrated Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, Second Edition Blending RTI and PBIS

This innovative guide to combining stand-alone academic and behavior supports into a single, integrated system is now in a thoroughly revised second edition, reflecting over a decade of advances in research and implementation. Many KâEUR"12 educators want to build integrated multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) but lack a roadmap for doing so. This book provides step-by-step strategies and tools that are practical, equitable, field tested, and empirically based. The authors outline efficient, sustainable ways to integrate data structures, practices, teams, and district systems; detailed cases present examples of implementation. In a convenient large-size format, the volume includes dozens of reproducible checklists and forms that also can be downloaded and printed.

This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
