Overview
RES schools use MTSS to provide targeted support to any students who show a need for additional supports.
The goal of MTSS is to identify struggling students early and intervene quickly so students can catch up with their peers.
It focuses on the “whole child.” That means it supports academic growth, and many other areas such as behavior, social and emotional needs, language acquisition, and absenteeism.
Key Elements of MTSS
Universal screening for all students early in each school year
Increasing levels of targeted support for those who are struggling
Integrated plans that address students’ academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs
A schoolwide approach to student support, with teachers, counselors, administrators, and other specialists working as a team to assess students and plan interventions using data-based decision-making
Professional development so staff can provide interventions and monitor progress effectively
Family involvement so parents and caregivers can understand the interventions and give support at home
Frequent progress monitoring of students to help decide if they need more interventions
The use of evidence-based practices at every tier of support
