Partner in Progress: A Home Educator's Guide to MTSS, PLCs, and SEL Across School Models

Are you a parent, guardian, or home educator trying to make sense of today's complex education systems? Partner in Progress: A Home Educator's Guide to MTSS, PLCs, and SEL Across School Models is your step-by-step resource for understanding how schools support students-and how you can be a confident advocate for your child.

This guide breaks down three powerful frameworks in clear, approachable language:

• MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports): Learn how schools identify and meet student needs-and how you can use the same strategies at home.

• PLCs (Professional Learning Communities): Understand how teachers collaborate and use data, and discover how this insight strengthens your communication with schools.

• SEL (Social and Emotional Learning): Support your child's emotional well-being and resilience with practical tools you can use every day.

With real-world examples, checklists, and conversation starters, this book gives families the confidence to participate fully in their child's education. Whether you are homeschooling, supporting online learning, navigating a hybrid program, or partnering with a traditional school, Partner in Progress equips you to build stronger relationships with teachers, advocate for your child, and support the whole learner-academically, behaviorally, and emotionally.

Perfect for homeschooling families, online school learning coaches, co-op educators, and any caregiver who wants to confidently navigate MTSS, PLCs, and SEL.
