MTSS

 

What is MTSS?

MTSS is a framework for school improvement that focuses on system level change across the classroom, school, and district to provide all students with the best opportunities to maximize achievement, both academically and behaviorally. MTSS focuses on providing high quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals, and continually checking fidelity of interventions. Data is used to allocate resources to improve student learning and support staff implementation of effective practices. 

 

Why we use MTSS.

The benefits of Multi-tiered Systems of Support include quality instruction, a team approach for identifying individual student needs, providing evidence-based tiered interventions, and data-driven procedures for monitoring student progress.  The framework is comprehensive, efficient, and effective.  The MTSS problem-solving approach addresses academics, behavior, attendance, and social needs -- improving learning outcomes for EVERY student.
