Most schools have MTSS meetings. Most schools have data. Most schools have intervention plans. What most schools do not have is a clear operational system that ensures those pieces actually work together to support students. These MTSS Operational resources provides that structure.

This resource establishes a clear, practical framework for how MTSS operates in real schools. It defines roles, decision pathways, intervention expectations, and progress monitoring structures so that student support is intentional, documented, and effective.

At the center of this toolkit is the KidTalk protocol, a structured meeting model that ensures student conversations lead to real instructional action, not just discussion. This protocol ensures teams use data to make decisions, assign responsibility, monitor progress, and adjust instruction as needed.

This resource kit also includes visual system models that help staff understand how MTSS functions across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3, clarifying roles, intervention pathways, and decision processes. This resource is designed for immediate implementation and can be used by schools, instructional coaches, MTSS coordinators, administrators, and leadership teams.
