MTSS: ACADEMIC PRESS

Mission and Vision of the Office of Instructional Development & Support 

The mission of Gwinnett County Public Schools' Office of Instructional Development & Support is to support each and every school in implementing a comprehensive framework to fully operationalize a multi-tiered system of support to address academic student needs and remove barriers to success. 

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)  is a whole-school, data-driven, prevention-based framework for improving learning outcomes for every student through a layered continuum of evidence-based practices and systems. RTI, or "Response to Intervention" falls under the umbrella of MTSS. 

Office of Instructional Development & Support Objectives:

• Identify academic and non-academic strengths, needs, and interests of each and every student to ensure whole learner, whole child focus.

• Increase strategic alignment, accessibility, and impact of integrated student supports for students identified for tiered interventions, student response to highly effective instruction and researched-based interventions, and tutoring services.

• Formalize the academic response to intervention (RTI) process to reduce variability and improve the fidelity of implementation across all schools and grade bands with appropriate researched based interventions and supports.
