As of June 30, 2026, the IL MTSS-Network will no longer be administered by Northern Illinois University. Next steps for the IL MTSS-Network are under consideration. 

We know many of you rely on the MTSS Network in different ways—through professional learning, guidance, state level initiatives, resource development, or ongoing communication—and we will make every effort to ensure continuity as we transition our work. Our team remains committed to fulfilling all current agreements and coaching and providing steady, high-quality support through the end of the fiscal year. 

We appreciate the trust you’ve placed in our team and the important contributions each of you make on behalf of Illinois students. If you have questions during this transition, please email Melina Wright at mwright6@niu.edu.

What would it take to get learning growth for every student, every year, in your school?

The Illinois MTSS Network (IL MTSS-N) provides high-quality professional learning and coaching for schools and districts to develop and sustain a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). MTSS is an evidence-based framework proven to positively impact all learners. 

Multi-tiered system of supports: Focuses on the whole child, identifies struggles early and intervenes quickly, supports academic, social emotional and behavioral growth and takes a systems approach for consistency across schools and classrooms.
