What is MTSS?

Some students struggle with academics. Others struggle with behavioral challenges. Still others struggle with both. How do schools respond to students with challenges or struggles that interfere with their ability to learn?

MTSS helps schools to identify struggling students early so that they may receive assistance quickly. It's a framework that helps educators provide academic and behavioral strategies for students with various needs.

Instead of the “waiting for failure” MTSS takes a proactive approach to identifying students with academic or behavioral needs. Early assessment and intervention for these students can help them catch up with their peers sooner.

How Will This Site Help?

Interventions need to be research based, and finding research based interventions takes time. This site has collected resources from a variety of sources that are all backed by data. Simply identify the area of need and the target skill, and this site will provide you with a list of interventions that are appropriate for your student! Simply print out the intervention plan, prep, and begin the intervention process. Don't forget to track your data either with graphing, charts, or any other quantitative method.
