Literacy Instruction within MTSS: Implementation Guides

Learn more about the model that was developed and adapted, and explore resources for successful implementation.

Project ELITE2 developed two Implementation Manuals that provide guidance for future replicators, which may include district leaders, educators, and other stakeholders interested in implementing a multitiered system of supports (MTSS) model for English learners (ELs) in the primary grades (K–3) and the upper-elementary grades (3–5). The manuals include a description of the model and how it was developed, tested, and adapted; key personnel necessary to support the model; professional development required to implement the model; resources necessary for coordination; and strategies for implementing and sustaining the model over time. Formative and summative evaluation measures are also included. The manuals also describe all project-designed tools and deliverables, including a complete roster of the available professional development training and the instructional guides required for implementation, support, and sustainment.
