Ohio's Integrated MTSS
Ohio's Integrated MTSS
Ohio’s Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (Ohio's Integrated MTSS) is a framework for student success and is designed to assist districts and schools in developing a local multi-tiered system of supports.
Ohio's Integrated MTSS framework includes key components to facilitate the delivery of effective, data-informed academic and non-academic instruction and supports to all students. The framework serves students at risk of not meeting grade-level expectations as well as those ready for instruction beyond grade-level expectations.
Through collaborative leadership and teaming, focused professional learning, and consistent communication and collaboration, each level plays a role in creating the conditions for effective academic and non-academic instruction and supports for all Ohio students.
