MnMTSS aims to make families partners in educational decision making by developing reciprocal relationships, amplifying the voices of marginalized or disadvantaged populations, clearly communicating learning objectives and student progress on those objectives and actively listening to contributions and concerns from families.
Through authentic collaboration, schools can create meaningful relationships with families and communities and build new opportunities for students together.
