"With MTSS increasingly used to organize student services in schools, this text is a crucial resource. Providing clear and extensive ideas for integrating school counseling with MTSS and written with both student and practitioner needs in mind, it’s invaluable to our field."Carey Dimmitt, Ph.D., Author of Evidence-Based School Counseling"The School Counselor’s Guide to MTSS is a must-have resource for integrating comprehensive school counseling, RTI, school-based mental health, and PBIS into a sustainable MTSS at the district and campus levels. This collaborative effort delivers evidence-based practices to assist educators in serving all students, including those with elevated, intensive needs." Kimberly Guerrero, Professional Development Consultant, Education Service Center Region 19, El Paso, Texas "If the concept and implementation of Multi-tiered systems of support have befuddled you, then The School Counselor’s Guide to Multi-Tiered Systems of Support is the book for you. As a counselor educator, I found this book an invaluable, must-read resource for teaching my school counselors-in-training about MTSS, implementing MTSS as a practitioner, and evaluating the implementation and progress within a school setting. The authors have made a daunting model accessible and understandable. This book is a must for every school counselor who uses an MTSS model within their practice." E. Mackenzie Shell, PhD, Counselor Educator, Central Connecticut State University"Now more than ever before students need school counseling support as they begin to adapt to school, family, and the community as the global pandemic begins to subside. This new edition of The School Counselor’s Guide to MTSS reminds school counselors of the importance of equity and access for all students and how integrating MTSS into the comprehensive school counseling program makes that a reality. By utilizing culturally responsive and sustaining practices across the 3 tiers, school counselors can positively impact school data, student outcomes and create positive and safe learning environments."Carol Dahir, Ed.D., School Counselor Educator, New York Institute of Technology"I love The School Counselor’s Guide to MTSS! The text addresses so many important issues for my students to understand, including utilizing data and universal screening. I especially appreciate the focus on culturally responsive MTSS and equity, both such important topics for our students to completely understand before they go out into the field."
