| MLSS Implementation Guide | The purpose of the implementation guide is to provide district, school leadership and teachers with guidance, resources, and tools for ensuring an effective implementation of MLSS. Implemented well, MLSS will lead to appropriate instruction for students, inclusive of at-risk students* in any content area. Schools can use the guiding questions to examine their current practices to determine existing systems and structures that can be leveraged and determine where additional practices need to be created.*In New Mexico and in reference to the Martinez/Yazzie consolidated lawsuit, at-risk means: Native American students, students with disabilities, students who are English learners, economically disadvantaged students, and students who are highly mobile.
