Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a comprehensive systematic framework of evidence based, school/district-wide practices to support academic and behavioral needs. Data-based monitoring for instructional decision-making empowers each student to master grade level standards.

MTSS:

• • • addresses academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development

    • provides support for all learners to have multiple opportunities to master standards

    • focuses on accelerating growth for all learners (below, on, or above grade level)

    • supports the instructional and assessment practices providing deeper learning

    • encompasses components of RTI

    • ensures that ALL students receive academic and behavioral supports that include prevention, differentiation, personalization, and enrichment activities that are guided by the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Principles

    • includes multiple means of representation to show the what, the why, and the how of learning
