Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is an educational framework designed to provide varying levels of support to students based on their individual needs. It typically consists of three tiers: Tier 1 includes high-quality classroom instruction for all students, Tier 2 offers targeted interventions for those who need additional help, and Tier 3 provides intensive support for students with significant challenges.
The goal of MTSS is to ensure that every student receives the appropriate level of assistance to succeed academically and behaviorally. By using data to inform decisions, educators can identify students who require extra support and monitor their progress over time, fostering a more inclusive learning environment.
