Leading Equity-Based MTSS for All Students
Autor Amy McCart, Dawn Dee Milleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 ian 2020
Observăm în peisajul educațional contemporan o nevoie acută de modele care să depășească simpla integrare formală, iar Leading Equity-Based MTSS for All Students răspunde acestei cerințe printr-o abordare interdisciplinară riguroasă. Lucrarea fuzionează principiile echității sociale cu strategii de management educațional și psihopedagogie specială, oferind un cadru de sprijin pe mai multe niveluri (MTSS) care nu se limitează doar la performanța academică, ci vizează și succesul social al fiecărui elev.
Apreciem în mod deosebit modul în care Amy McCart și Dawn Miller resping modelul tradițional „medical” — cel bazat pe diagnosticare și separare — în favoarea unei perspective centrate pe resurse și potențial. Comparabil cu In Support of Students de Katie Novak în ceea ce privește rigoarea dovezilor științifice, volumul de față este actualizat pentru contextul actual al resurselor limitate, punând un accent mai mare pe optimizarea personalului și a bugetului existent prin „Resource Mapping”.
Structura cărții este eminamente practică, fiind concepută ca un ghid de implementare pas cu pas. Primele capitole stabilesc fundamentele teoretice și etice, urmate de o secțiune tehnică despre construirea unei matrici de instruire pe niveluri (Universal Support, Screening, Progress Monitoring). Partea de „inginerie” a sistemului, care include elaborarea unui program master (Master Schedule), indică o înțelegere profundă a logisticii școlare. Ne-a atras atenția capitolul final dedicat rutinelor de date, care transformă monitorizarea progresului dintr-o sarcină administrativă într-un instrument activ de decizie pedagogică.

De ce să citești această carte
Această carte se adresează directorilor de școli, consilierilor și echipelor de leadership care doresc să implementeze un sistem de suport incluziv fără a epuiza resursele instituției. Cititorul câștigă acces la instrumente gata de utilizat, precum matricea de instruire și modelele de cartografiere a resurselor, facilitând tranziția de la teorie la o practică școlară echitabilă, unde niciun elev nu este lăsat în urmă din cauza etichetărilor rigide.

Descriere scurtă
Recenzii
"Leading Equity-Based MTSS for All Students does an excellent job of presenting guidance that is not only relevant, but also very focused and practical. Written in a user-friendly manner, it encourages and promotes teams to engage in educating and helping all students, providing a clear model of how to initiate a dialogue about equity and incorporate MTSS into schools."
"The implementation of MTSS seems daunting to many, but this book is a valuable resource that will demystify and empower staff to engage in the development process. By using clear examples of districts and schools that implemented MTSS in a cost-effective manner, the authors provide a great service to the reader and the educational community."
"The authors provide clear steps that a school may take to implement MTSS with an equity focus, along with with tools that can be used to keep students in a classroom with a general education curriculum. The result is a guide that is both practical and useful."
"This book provides tools to ease a burden that plagues many schools with large numbers of students needing services while having limited resources. This is especially beneficial to guide schools through the inventory and planning process of implementing MTSS, which can seem like an insurmountable task when numbers are large."
" Leading Equity-Based MTSS for All Students provides clear guidance to school leaders for the creation of a solid Multi-Tiered System of Support that meets the needs of all students. The conversational tone makes it easy to read, and it contains immediately actionable steps for schools to take. Whether a team needs to refine their existing system or create one from the ground up, this book has it covered."
"Leading Equity-Based MTSS for All Students provides practical, realistic guidance to school districts that do not already have an MTSS plan in place. It provides critical tools that can be used to engineer the MTSS process system in any school."
"Leading Equity-Based MTSS for All Students provides a missing gap in the MTSS field. By exploring the 'how' and 'who' of implementation, the authors provide useful guidance for administration and teachers/leaders seeking to implement and strengthen MTSS in their schools."
"While other books and thinking in the field are based more on a medical model of labeling students and working with them separately from the rest of the students, Amy McCart and Dawn Miller's book is strength-based, equity-based, and includes all students. It uses practical assessments and tools to guide the development and implementation of MTSS."
