For the second time this fall, faculty and students from the Department of Educational Psychology’s school psychology program—including Associate Professor Faith Miller; Birkmaier Education Leadership Professor and Program Coordinator Amanda Sullivan; PhD students Nicole McEverett and Alexandra Muldrew, and Senior Lecturer Annie Hansen-Burke—published an article that was featured on the front page of Communiqué on advancing equity during COVID-19.

The first article—which published in September, “Leveraging MTSS to advance, not suppress COVID-related equity issues,” provided guidance on how schools can center equity in their student support structures in the wake of COVID-19 and social unrest. The November article, “Leveraging MTSS to Advance, Not Suppress, COVID-Related Equity Issues: Tiers 2 and 3 Considerations,” expands on the first by focusing on Tiers 2 and 3 of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) model. Communiqué is the official newspaper of the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) and is one of the most widely disseminated resources to school psychologists.

Thank you to our school psychology faculty and students for their continued leadership on equity issues!
