With thankful hearts we very much appreciate the efforts and expertise of the individuals and groups who have worked to contribute to improvements of our district practices and our new manual: members of our Response to Intervention (RTI) / Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Cohort group, members of the Keller ISD Counseling staff, and all others who contributed to the development of this MTSS framework.

The members of the RTI / MTSS cohort met to share bold and innovative ideas, experience and expertise, and passion for the success of all Keller ISD students. The cohort analyzed Keller ISD district-level data, evaluated Keller ISD intervention practices, and reviewed current research and evidence-based “best practices” to provide the best possible framework for our district. In addition, we have reviewed the most effective intervention practices currently in place in other districts throughout our region and state to guide our district in maintaining its vision and sustaining its ability to offer exceptional opportunities to support the achievement of all students at high levels.
