Implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) in secondary schools presents unique challenges—siloed departments, complex timetables, gaps in foundational skills, subject-specific demands, and adolescent motivation. Drawing on her Churchill Fellowship and experience establishing interventions at Como Secondary College (WA), Jess shared practical strategies and highlight the key non-negotiable pieces of the MTSS puzzle that schools must solve for effective implementation.
