ABSTRACT
There are specific roles and responsibilities that align with human capital competencies required to engineer and maintain Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) practices. The case manager model is thoroughly discussed, and professional expectations for required team members are described in detail. MTSS case managers, MTSS chairs, administrators, school counselors, school psychologists, and specialists all bring unique perspectives to the problem-solving table. Responsive adaptability to fast moving information is required to adequately address students’ ever-changing needs in a timely manner, and will promote team problem solving in overcoming barriers to MTSS team functions and processes. Smart team processes are made explicit and legitimization of team meetings and documentation of case notes are reviewed. MTSS meeting schedules, MTSS student database, and guidelines for MTSS meeting etiquette assist MTSS teams in working together from the same page.
