Episode: Tier 2 in Action: Helping Counselors Build Skills, Systems, and Sustainable Support - Michelle DePuy
Description: Today our guest is Michelle DePuy, Secondary Ed. Program Specialist at Redlands Unified School District. We talk to Michelle about how her district is strengthening Tier 2 systems by focusing on both mindset and skill-building with secondary counselors.
