MTSS

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a framework  of interventions and supports designed to address  behavioral and academic challenges in an effort to enhance academic, behavioral and social-emotional outcomes for ALL students. Rather than "waiting for failure", MTSS aims to provide a proactive approach to supporting students and their needs. Key components of MTSS include:

• Universal screening of all students at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. 

• School wide approach to expectations and supports

• Parent involvement

• MTSS uses three tiers of support to assist all students at various levels:

Tier 1 = Universal or core instruction.

Tier 2 = Targeted or strategic instruction/intervention 

Tier 3 = Intensive instruction/intervention
