Even More Fails: Lessons in Promoting Effective MTSS Implementation

Written By Margaret McGlinchey

Even the most experienced leaders in this field have stories about epically failing while trying to get systems right.

That’s exactly why the first Epic Fails webinar resonated so much when we hosted it in January 2026.

So we did it again – and brought new stories, new presenters, and new lessons about the complex reality of MTSS implementation.

This webinar’s featured topics:

  • State-level implementation

  • Coaching Systems

  • Reducing Exclusionary Discipline through System Change


Educators Featured:

  • Judy Elliott, Former Chief Academic Officer, Los Angeles Unified School District

  • Steve Goodman, Director, Michigan’s Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative

  • Tanya Ihlo, Director, Nebraska MTSS Implementation Support Team

  • Rhonda Nese, Associate Professor of Special Education and Prevention Science, University of Oregon
