Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) integrates instruction, assessment, and intervention within a multi-tiered prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavior concerns. It is our intentional framework for addressing teaching and learning which begins with high-quality, standards-based instruction each day and emphasizes intervening with students when they first start to struggle to avoid prolonged academic and/or behavioral difficulties. MTSS is a seamless process consisting of well-defined instructional practices, re-engagement strategies, and interventions based on students’ needs to accelerate their learning.
