MTSS that works like a true operating system.

I'm Dr. Erin Chaparro. I help education leaders build a multi-tiered system of supports with clear priorities, actionable data, and adult routines that stick — designed for the realities of real schools.

Rooted in Research. Grounded in Reality.

Dr. Chaparro brings over 20 years experience in education, implementing tiered systems as a statewide initiative director for five years, a researcher, MTSS coach, and consultant.

The MTSS Operating Manual gives leadership teams the essential tools to build an MTSS that functions as the operating system of the school — usable in real-world settings, sustainable under real constraints.

MTSS implementation is not a program. It's a system and it's a new way of doing business. If you're building doesn't feel noticeably different than either you already have it dialed in or you're not doing it right. It's a tough message but I've come to learn that most teams aren’t struggling because they don’t care or aren’t working hard. They’re struggling because the system itself isn’t designed to support clear, consistent decision-making.

I partner with schools and districts to design and strengthen MTSS practices that are usable in real-world settings (imagine that!). This partnership typically includes a focus on clarifying team structures, defining decision rules, aligning assessment practices, and ensuring that Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 supports work together.

Whether you’re building MTSS from the ground up or trying to refine what already exists, the charge and mission is the same: create a network of high quality instruction, intervention, data use and teaming that is systemic to the point that the underlying operating system of the school community is fundamentally changed and is functioning for the better as evidence by better student outcomes and happier staff, faculty, and families.
