This comprehensive guide gives an overview of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) for K-12 teacher leaders and other school professionals with practices toward achieving transdisciplinary success for lifelong literacy in schools. MTSS is a holistic teacher leadership approach that focuses on transdisciplinary networks of instruction and intervention. For MTSS to be effective, teacher-colleagues and teacher leaders need to be prepared to understand the complexities of the systems and the multiple tiers of support needed within each system, as well as their roles in the process.

This book details an illustrative list of tiers for seven systems within an MTSS framework, including multi-tiered systems for:

• Assessment and Evaluation
• Professional Learning (e.g., literacy coaches, literacy leadership teams, online/offline professional learning)
• Family Engagement (e.g., newsletters, parent nights, parent workshops, Parent-Teacher Associations)
• Transdisciplinary Curriculum Content (e.g., media centers, leveled book rooms, schools, districts, and state resource teachers)
• Community Engagement (e.g., social services, school outreach, counseling services, health services)
• Distributive Teacher Leadership (e.g., School Advisory Committee, college/university courses, professional pathways)
• Response to Intervention/Instruction

With examples of instructional practices, connections to researched resources, and implementational plans, this book will be useful for teacher leaders, literacy coaches, and curriculum leaders, as well as school board officials and school administrators, to leverage their knowledge and skills for transdisciplinary literacy learning in their schools.
