She brings over 15 years of experience in providing technical assistance to schools, districts, and states in implementing student support systems such as Early Warning Systems, MTSS, and PBIS. She has received national attention for her brief A Practitioner’s Guide to Implementing Early Warning Systems and was recently featured by Branching Minds in their podcast How Leaders Can Mitigate Drop-Out Risk Using Early Warning Indicators. Her most recent area of focus has been integrating student and family voice to help guide the selection of interventions that address the root causes of where students need support.
