MTSS-A

All students

(Core Supports — All Students): The key component of tiered instruction; all students receive instruction within an evidence-based, scientifically-researched core program.

Some students

(Targeted Supports — Some Students): Some children who fall below the expected levels of accomplishment (benchmarks) and are at some risk for failure, but who are still above levels considered to indicate a high risk for failure.  Instruction is provided in smaller groups or individually supplementing and supporting the core program.

Few students

(Intensified Supports — Few Students): Few children who are considered to be at high risk for failure and were not responsive to previous instruction, according to  expected levels of accomplishment (benchmarks) and require more intensive individualized instruction to supplement and support Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 programs.
