Description of Fellowship
Samantha Batel worked with Boston Public Schools’ (BPS) Chief Academic Officer to develop a multi-tiered system of support framework (MTSS) for the district. This project required collaboration across several BPS departments and culminated in a presentation for schools receiving district support to make transformative improvement. Supported by district experts, this work will be foundational for BPS’ future MTSS work.
