In order to improve outcomes for all students, schools and districts should engage in a team-based process of problem solving and action planning.  Early work focuses around forming leadership team structures, building consensus, and conducting inventories of existing practices. From there, district and school level teams use existing data to identify areas of strength and need in their MTSS infrastructure and implementation.
