The document discusses implementing organizational change in schools through a multi-tiered system of support. It emphasizes investing in high-fidelity implementation of core initiatives, evaluating outcomes, and integrating or eliminating programs based on their effectiveness. Initiatives should be combined that have similar outcomes, target groups, and staff involvement. Leadership, funding, training, and data-driven decision making are essential to support sustainable systems-level change.
