Dr. McCullough has been the compass and the oar this year at SCHS with MTSS. She has organized very successful monthly meetings with grade level teachers to focus on students on the "watchlists". She has provided data that is easy to read with students that need to be named and claimed. At our January school-wide MTSS team meeting she shared one of the best presentations that I have seen in education that showed the progress in all areas of educating the whole child and showed specific names of students that were not longer on the "watch list" because they had made great improvements since the beginning of the year. Amazing work done exemplifying how MTSS should work to benefit our students."
