Support for SRBI and MTSS

CREC Resource Group (CRG) collaborates with schools and districts to design, implement, and sustain an effective Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework that drives student success. Our phased approach allows districts to enter the process at any stage, tailoring support to meet their unique needs.

What CRG Offers

• Conducting comprehensive needs assessments.
• Delivering targeted professional learning for staff.
• Providing technical assistance for implementing action plans.
• Serving as a resource for MTSS teams in developing and refining their tiered support model.

Whether your district is just beginning or refining its MTSS framework, CRG is here to help you achieve your goals with sustainable and scalable solutions.
