#1: Integrated Multi-Tiered Systems of Support: Blending RtI and PBIS by McIntosh & Goodman
This month our Friday 5s will highlight books on MTSS implementation that can be checked out free of charge from our ODU T-TAC Lending Library. Simply sign up for a free account and have Integrated Multi-Tiered Systems of Support: Blending RtI and PBIS by McIntosh and Goodman shipped right to you. This book presents the conceptual rationale and practical tools that directly support a single, coherent framework that blends RtI and PBIS. Often operating in silos, the text illustrates how to reduce duplication by aligning efforts into one integrated system and ensuring that academic and social-emotional-behavioral supports function within one cohesive infrastructure. While states may define different MTSS core components, this book clearly supports Virginia’s 5 core components: Aligned Organizational Structures, Problem-Solving & Data Informed Decision Making, Tiered Continuum of Supports, Systematic Implementation and Evaluation & Fidelity.
