In this episode, we’re exploring MTSS school systems that support student behavior with Crystal Ceresani from the Behavior Alliance of South Carolina. We discuss how the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) can be used to manage behavior more effectively, starting with proactive Tier 1 strategies. Crystal outlines why behavior needs to be explicitly taught, just like academics, and what that looks like in action.

We talk about how to set clear expectations, involve staff and students in defining norms, and develop a shared language around behavior. Crystal also highlights common implementation challenges and offers practical strategies for overcoming them. With real-life success stories and tips for getting started, this episode is packed with actionable insights for coaches, teachers, and school leaders ready to build stronger, more supportive behavior systems.
