Kansas Multi-Tier System of Supports

Book Study Guides

The Kansas Multi-Tier System of Supports (MTSS) Project has collaborated with educators across Kansas to make available a variety of book study guides for teams to use as a professional development tool. The guides cover a variety of topics but all address the principles and practices of the Kansas MTSS.

Below each book title is information providing a link to the document or videos if it's available online. Some of the other books are available for check out from the Kansas MTSS Project by public schools in Kansas. A Kansas school may check out 10 copies of the book for 8 weeks at not cost beyond return shipping.
