What is MTSS?

NC MTSS is a multi-tiered framework which promotes school improvement through engaging, research-based academic and behavioral practices. NC MTSS employs a systems approach using data-driven problem solving to maximize growth for ALL! The vision of NCDPI is that every NC pre-K - 12 education system implements and sustains a multi-tiered system of support.

How can Parents Help?

Talk to your child’s teachers about your concerns.  

- Participate in team meetings about your child.  During meetings share your child’s interests, strengths, and needs.  

- Ask questions about your child’s intervention plan as well as their progress.  

- Ask what academic or behavioral area is being addressed and how the team will monitor your child’s progress.  

- Ask to see your child’s most recent data.  

- Share ideas with the team about strategies that work at home with your child.  

- Focus on your child’s growth on the specific skills that are being targeted.  Praise your child for the improvements they make in those areas.   

- Consult with your child’s teacher regarding strategies that may be useful in the home setting, which may further support your child’s learning at school.  

- Ask when the next meeting will be held to review your child’s intervention plan.
