Dr. Sullivan dives deep into how he turned a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) into an innovative district operating system that ensures equitable learning experiences for special education, multilingual, and high-achieving learners alike.\nHe breaks down the multi-year process of systematizing tiered interventions across grade bands, shifting administrative walkthroughs from evaluative checklists to supportive coaching tools, and leading sustainable cultural change from the middle. Dr. Sullivan also reveals how he is actively tapping into student voice to design practical, forward-looking AI learning opportunities. Listeners will take away invaluable blueprints for breaking down district silos, fostering genuine teacher buy-in, and leading scalable systemic improvement.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/aOK0Kp2yKScscVLMlPADInpCbYKAJytVUsFMMPvs7CE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZjQ2/MWRmNjhiNzI3Mjc4/YzE3NjQ5MDU0YWIx/Y2ZmYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
