The goal of the Fitzgerald Public School Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework is to ensure that all students learn at high-levels through systematic district-wide supports and ongoing collaboration among all stakeholders.
A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a comprehensive framework comprising a collection of research-based strategies designed to meet the individual needs and assets of the whole child. MTSS intentionally interconnects the education, health, and human service systems in support of successful learners, schools, centers, and community outcomes. MiMTSS recognizes five essential components of MTSS that are inter-related and complementary. The MTSS framework provides schools and districts with an effective way to organize resources to support educators in the implementation of effective practices with fidelity so that all learners succeed.
The purpose of MTSS is to address the needs of the whole child (cognitive, physical, behavioral, social, emotional) efficiently and effectively. Implementation of the essential components as intended provides educational settings with a framework to organize the strategies and processes needed to eliminate barriers to learning and support successful student outcomes.
MTSS is guided by the following principles:
A collective responsibility for ensuring growth and success for all learners is assumed by each person within the system (educators, learners, families, and community)
A proactive approach to ensuring that each and every learner experiences a quality education designed to expand the learners' potential
A commitment to use a systematic problem-solving process to improve outcomes of all learners
A commitment to ongoing, effective support for educators and leaders including professional learning, feedback, and coaching
A commitment to use data as a basis for information gathering and to avoid making assumptions
An investment in systems to promote durability and scaling up of MTSS
MiMTSS identifies the following five essential components through the MDE MTSS Practice Profile development process as:
Team-Based Leadership
Tiered Delivery System
Selection & IMplementation of Instruction, Interventions, & Supports
Comprehensive Screening & Assessment System
Continuous Data-Based Decision Making
