What is Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)?
MTSS can be defined as a school-wide, multi-tiered prevention framework that provides supplemental, needs-specific intervention to students with learning problems. Key components of an MTSS framework involve: data driven assessment and problem-solving and tiered supports. Data driven assessment and problem-solving occur at all levels of the framework and includes universal screening to determine risk status and progress monitoring to determine student response to supplemental intervention. Tiered support or intervention increases in intensity based on student needs and progress. MTSS operates within a collaborative context that includes educators and families working together to promote academic student success.
