School Counselors for MTSS

Coming this summer: Making MTSS Work, 2nd Edition! These last few years we’ve worked with you all: schools, districts, and school counselors across the US: training, coaching, and conferences. We’ve celebrated with you and we’ve worked through the hard things. And we have partnered to make things better for schools and students. We carry your stories with us, and we have learned from you.

As we updated this book- we pictured you all: what is happening in today’s schools and what do you need, in your SC/MTSS journey? We hope this book does just that! -Emily, Jen, Jake, Peg

Our work is grounded in building intentional systems that support students and staff rather than integrating piecemeal interventions. Listen to the latest I Hear You Say episode with the American School Counselor Association . Filled with tidbits on the new book!
