The IABS team supports the work of implementing and sustaining a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework through the lens of data, systems and practices for all students. The MTSS framework for districts and schools focuses on academics and behavior from Pre-K through 12th grade.
NC MTSS is a school improvement framework that encompasses academic, behavioral, social, and emotional instruction and support. NC MTSS employs a systems approach using data-driven problem-solving to maximize growth for all.
Every NC Pre K - 12 public education system implements and sustains all components of a multi-tiered system of support to ensure college, career, and community readiness for all students.
NC DPI will prepare and support LEAs to implement a multi-tiered system of support for total school improvement by providing professional development, coaching and technical assistance, research and evaluation, and communication and visibility that results in college, career, and community readiness for all students.
We believe that NC MTSS is the most effective and efficient approach to improving district, school and student outcomes thereby ensuring a sound basic education for ALL.
We believe that in order for MTSS to be successful:
All stakeholders understand that every child can be successful.
Professional Learning Communities meet on a regular basis to analyze, collaborate, and problem solve.
Multiple pieces of data are used to problem solve.
Interventions will match the needs of the individual student.
Communication occurs between all stakeholders.
