Multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) is a concept that has been around awhile in the field of education. Traditionally, it has referred to the system of supports designed to help all students make academic progress. 

In more recent years, the MTSS framework has been expanded and adapted to promote students' readiness to learn by specifically addressing their social, emotional, and behavioral needs. We call this framework MTSS-B. 

In order to promote and support students' readiness to learn, SAU 34 is working hard to implement MTSS-B in all buildings.
