A hands-on workbook that empowers educators to create a more effective and inclusive learning environment

In Support of Student Data: A Data Workbook for MTSS Teams is a practical tool that student support teams can use every day to make meaningful, data-driven decisions. The first section of this book provides a framework and protocols for using data to support MTSS and drive systemic change, helping you align resources such as schedules, staffing, and materials to function effectively within a robust tiered system of support. The second section was built to replace antiquated and reactive pre-referral processes. This workbook walks teams through a clear, step-by-step approach to identifying student needs early and matching them with the right level of support.

After many successful years of supporting individual districts and schools, Dr. Rodriguez introduces her MTSS? framework to the world. The workbook helps educators move away from gatekeeping systems, where students have to fail or meet rigid criteria before receiving help, toward responsive, evidence-based solutions where real-time data drives immediate tiered support. Whether you're designing Tier 2 interventions, reviewing screening data, or crafting individualized student support plans, this guide provides ready-to-use tools.

This workbook includes:

- A modern process for student support teams to collaboratively review data and define timely, tiered supports

- Protocols that guide each stage of intervention planning

- Templates, checklists, and visual tools that simplify decision-making and streamline team meetings

- Real-world examples, analogies, and case studies that make MTSS accessible and actionable

Designed for use by MTSS teams, In Support of Student Data helps organizations shift from using outdated pre-referral systems to a flexible, student-first approach. It's the essential playbook for schools looking to catch students before they fall and build systems that work for all learners.
