What is MTSS?

Simply put, MTSS is a framework we are ALL building together to support district administrators, every educator at BISD, and most importantly, all of our students.

• MTSS stands for "Multi-Tiered Systems of Support." 

• MTSS is a framework that supports the many wonderful programs that BISD currently offers. 

• The heart of MTSS is effective Tier 1 instruction that blends SEL (Social-emotional Learning), the TEKS (Texas Essential Skills & Knowledge), and the ELPS (English Language Proficiency Standards).

• BISD's MTSS framework is built to support the 'WHOLE CHILD', encompassing not only academic support but also a restorative approach to behavior.

• MTSS ensures that data-based decisions reflect the belief that every child we educate can improve over time.

• The MTSS District Team and MTSS Campus Teams will guide each BISD campus in the process of streamlining an equitable, unified system of support across our entire district.

• MTSS utilizes RTI as a safety net for all students in need of extra support, especially those not already covered by Special Programs such as SpEd, 504, or LPAC.

With the support and guidance of TEA, TIER, and our Region 5 Service Center - BISD is set for success!
