What happens when a district builds a great MTSS framework—but has nowhere to put it? For West Aurora School District in Aurora (IL), intervention data lived in Google Sheets and personal Drive folders, with years of student history tied to individual staff accounts.

In this webinar, hear directly from the West Aurora team, serving 14,000 students across 25+ schools, about how they built a district-wide MTSS approach by investing in people and process before ever adopting intervention technology.

You’ll walk away knowing how to: 

  • Align staff district-wide on shared MTSS language, tiers, and definitions
  • Transition from scattered spreadsheets to a centralized platform without losing staff buy-in
  • Track real-time intervention attendance, progress monitoring, and student growth
  • Ensure seamless student continuity across buildings and grade levels

Whether you’re just beginning your MTSS journey or looking to scale an existing framework, this session offers a practical, honest look at what it takes to build something that lasts.
