What is MTSS? What is Tier 2 Intervention?

  • MTSS (Multi-tiered systems of support) is a framework that allows schools to provide several layers of support for students to promote academic and behavioral success.

  • Tier 1 Instruction is what the majority of students receive through the academic curriculum, ROAR initiatives, and information outlined in the student handbook and SCASD policies.

  • School staff collaborate with one another, parents and students to identify students who may need additional practice with academic, behavioral, or social-emotional skills.

  • Tier 2 Intervention offers supplemental, targeted support for those students, as a complement to Tier 1 instruction. Tier 2 Interventions may look like:

    • Math or reading groups

    • Social and emotional skill building groups

    • Behavioral skill building groups

    • Mentoring

    • Clubs
