Align your systems of support with human development so students grow, teachers thrive, and your school regains coherence and confidence!
It doesn't have to be this way.
School leaders and MTSS teams are working harder than ever—but misaligned systems, overwhelmed staff, and rising student needs make progress feel impossible.
How We Help
Schools flourish when their systems reflect how adolescents grow and how adults work best together. I help middle and high school leaders redesign their systems of support so behavior improves, teacher practice becomes more consistent, and the entire school moves from reactivity to coherence.
Whether you’re rebuilding your MTSS, supporting teachers who feel overwhelmed, or developing your own leadership as an assistant principal, I bring a calm, practical, developmentally grounded approach that creates steady, visible progress.
Here’s how we can work together…

THE MTSS REDESIGN LAB
THE MTSS REDESIGN LAB
A guided, multi-school cohort for MTSS teams ready to build coherent, human-centered systems of support.
Most MTSS teams are working incredibly hard—but without a clear redesign pathway, aligned systems, or a supportive community, progress feels slow and fragmented.
The MTSS Redesign Lab gives your team the structured process, expert guidance, and collaborative problem-solving you need to redesign your MTSS in six months, without the cost of full-service consulting.
What Your Team Will Experience Inside the Lab
✔️ A Clear, Structured MTSS Redesign Process
Move step-by-step through a proven framework aligned with adolescent development and the realities of school operations.
✔️ A Full Audit of Your Current Systems
Identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities using research-aligned tools adapted to your state’s MTSS rubric and human-development frameworks.
✔️ Aligned Tier 1–3 Structures
Clarify roles, redesign workflows, strengthen Tier 1, and build coherent Tier 2 and 3 supports that match student needs and staff capacity.
✔️ Decision-Making Routines That Bring Clarity
Strengthen meeting protocols, problem-solving cycles, and data routines so your team can make faster, more confident decisions.
✔️ Collaborative Problem-Solving With Other Schools
Learn with—and from—MTSS teams in diverse contexts. Share real problems of practice, see how others solve similar challenges, and accelerate your learning curve.
✔️ Ongoing Coaching + Thought Partnership
Participate in monthly group coaching, optional 1:1 touchpoints, office hours, and feedback on artifacts as your team builds its new system.
