Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)
Proactive Intervention
MTSS identifies struggling students early and provides the appropriate proactive support for only as long as needed.
What is MTSS?
A Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is an evolving framework that proactively supports the needs of ALL students in the areas of Teaching and Learning, Student Well-Being and Positive Behavior. The goal is to ensure the success of every student by working in partnership with the school, family and community.
Team Collaboration
Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) identify what students need, promote collaboration, among staff, and enables teachers, administrators and staff to better support students. MTSS keeps families informed and involved through programs, services and activities.
Customized classroom instruction is based on student need and mastery of classroom instruction. A few examples of assessments include test scores, classroom observation, suspension rates, attendance and language proficiency.
What are the tiered levels of support?
There are three levels, or tiers of instruction and support based on student need. Students can move to different tiers throughout the year and be in different tiers in different areas.
