Multi-Tiered System of Supports

(MTSS)

What is a Multi-Tiered System of Supports?

MTSS is an integrated school-wide approach which provides a structure for effective instruction, assessment, and support for all learners with a focus on well-being and achievement. It requires the collaboration and coordinated efforts of learners, teachers, families, guardians, parents and community partners in providing the appropriate programs, settings, supports, and services.

A Multi-Tiered System of Supports recognizes the inherent worth of all learners and strengthens the importance of well-being and achievement, inclusive of all learners in our classrooms, schools, and communities.
