Making MTSS work in the real world.Â
I'm Dr. Erin Chaparro. I help education leaders build a multitiered system of supports with clear priorities, actionable data, and adult routines that stick.Â
Rooted in Research. Grounded in Reality.
Dr. Erin brings over 20 years experience in education, implementing tiered systems as a statewide initiative director for five years, a researcher, MTSS coach, and consultant.
Dr. Erin Chaparro works with education leaders who are ready to move from fragmented MTSS efforts to clear decision rules, usable data, and routines that staff can actually sustain.
Most MTSS initiatives fail because of leadership turnover, initiative overload, and lack of ongoing training and support. MTSS requires that district and school leadership teams build systems that endure turnover, overload, and limited resources. This workbook helps leadership teams accomplish MTSS implementation with commitment, not just compliance.
Built around Dr. Chaparro's EPIC Method, it walks leadership teams through a tiered system of supports — with templates, meeting routines, and fidelity tools you can use at your very next team meeting.
- Step-by-step implementation (and de-implementation) guidance for school and district teamsÂ
- Ready-to-use templates, agendas, and data routines
- Designed for principals, coaches, and MTSS leadership teams

Consulting & Other Supports
Is your MTSS helping people make decisions, or creating more work?
MTSS implementation is not a program. It's a system and it's a new way of doing business. If you're building doesn't feel noticeably different than either you already have it dialed in or you're not doing it right. It's a tough message but I've come to learn that most teams aren’t struggling because they don’t care or aren’t working hard. They’re struggling because the system itself isn’t designed to support clear, consistent decision-making.
“De-implementation isn’t a sign of failure. It’s an indication of leadership.”
Dr. Erin A. Chaparro
I partner with schools and districts to design and strengthen MTSS practices that are usable in real-world settings (imagine that!). 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 and is functioning for the better as evidence by better student outcomes and happier staff, faculty, and families.Â
