You became a leader because you believed schools could work better for every student.
But somewhere between the initiatives, the competing priorities, and budget cuts, that vision got hard to see. If your team is working hard and still feels scattered, that's not a people problem. It's a system problem.
I'm Dr. Erin Chaparro and I help education leaders build MTSS that functions as a true operating system: clear priorities, actionable data, and adult routines that stick. IÂ look forward to supporting your team to optimize and organize MTSS at your site.
Â
For 20 years I've been working alongside MTSS implementers to share everything I learned through leading one state's MTSS initiative for five years, serving on 2 national technical assistance centers, and working in schools as an instructional coach and school psychologist.Â
My work spans 150+ schools across 20+ districts, grounded in 13+ years of research and a relentless focus on building systems that actually hold.
Dr. Erin Chaparro is an MTSS consultant, researcher, and former statewide systems leader. Her work includes keynotes, district consulting, and the MTSS Implementers' Network - a professional learning community for the leaders doing this work in real schools with real constraints.
If you're interested in networking with education leaders from across the country consider joining the
MTSS Implementers' Network (MIN).
The MIN is offered by Dr. Erin Chaparro, Ph.D., M.S. — education consultant, researcher, and former statewide MTSS leader. This is the 3rd year of this online community where education leaders from across the country learn together during live sessions, asynchronous courses, and a library of templates and tools to fast track high quality MTSS implementation.
Membership enrollment opens July 28th and closes August 11th. Membership includes a pdf copy of Dr. Erin's new book "The MTSS Operating Manual: Essential Tools for District and School Leadership Teams" (also available for Pre-Order on Amazon).Â

MTSS Consulting Services
MTSS implementation is not a program. It's a system and a new way of doing business. If your building doesn't feel noticeably different, then either you already have it dialed in — or you're not doing it right. It's a tough message, but most teams are struggling because the system itself isn't designed to support clear, consistent decision-making.
I partner with schools and districts to design and strengthen MTSS practices that are usable in real-world settings. This partnership typically includes a focus on clarifying team structures, defining decision rules, aligning assessment practices, and ensuring that Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 supports work together.
Whether you're building MTSS from the ground up or trying to refine what already exists, the charge and mission is the same: create a network of high-quality instruction, intervention, data use, and teaming that is systemic to the point that the underlying operating system of the school community is fundamentally changed — evidenced by better student outcomes and happier staff, faculty, and families.
