Title: Enhancing Readiness, Commitment, and Engagement for Transforming Learning Supports: An Ongoing Process (Guide for Practice)

Description: While creating stakeholder readiness and commitment is the first phase in a system change process, it needs to be an ongoing process. Eventually, the aim is to engage a clear majority of school and community stakeholders.
