When MTSS collaboration breaks down, it's rarely a people problem — it's a systems problem. This session uses the Knoster Model for Managing Complex Change as a diagnostic lens for why inclusive systems stall, drawing on honest case studies from Washington state IPTN demonstration site teams. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of what collaboration requires and a practical framework to diagnose exactly where their system needs attention.
Sedro-Woolley School District is in year seven implementing Ci3T as our district-wide MTSS framework. Leadership teams plan and develop professional learning based on input from stakeholders, and systematic data collection, for staff to meet academic, behavioral, and social needs of all learners in our district. Building Implementation Plans are developed and refined to provide clear expectations for stakeholders. Districts in early stages of MTSS will see one journey for building and implementing MTSS through Ci3T.
