- understand the current status of theory and research on distributed leadership, implementation science and multitiered systems of support.

Description
A multitiered system of supports (MTSS) is a comprehensive framework for serving students. However, implementation involves various components that are too cumbersome for one leader, which contributes to the use of distributed leadership for MTSS. Yet, there is little attention on how school leadership teams think about and act upon distributed leadership models when implementing MTSS. This presentation reports the findings from a case study examining a leadership team’s use of distributed leadership for MTSS.
