A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a systemic, continuous improvement
framework in which data-based problem-solving and
decision making is practiced across all levels of the educational system for
supporting students. The framework of MTSS is a “way of doing
business” which utilizes high quality evidence-based instruction,
intervention, and assessment practices to ensure that every student
receives the appropriate level of support to be successful. A Multi-Tiered
System of Supports helps schools and districts to organize resources
through alignment of the following supports: health and Wellness, Behavior, Family and Community Engagement, Academic, and Mental Health. These are implemented with fidelity and sustained over time, in order to afford opportunities for every student to reach his or her potential (Adapted from CDE, 2015).
