What is MTSS?

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

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

• Firstly, MTSS will support Data Literacy for All - building everyone's capacity for leadership.

• MTSS is NOT a specific process or strategy. It is a Framework to support the many wonderful programs that BISD currently offers. MTSS honors the fact all students need individualized support.

• The heart of MTSS is Effective Tier 1 Instruction happening in every classroom. Blending the ELPS, TEKS, and SEL; as well as other research-based preventative and enrichment strategies so that every student is reached at their current level of understanding.

• BISD's MTSS framework will support the WHOLE CHILD. Our framework will encompass not only academic support but also a restorative approach to behavior, for the benefit of everyone's mental health as well. 

• 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 is a safety net for Best Practices on Every campus for All students - rooted in Results-driven Accountability - aimed at reaching our BISD Board Outcome Goals!
