Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) Explained

MTSS is an approach used in schools to provide different levels of support to students based on their individual needs. It's like a safety net that ensures all students can succeed by offering varying degrees of help.
At the core of MTSS are three "tiers":

Tier 1: Universal support for all students, like regular classroom instruction and school-wide practices.

Tier 2: Targeted support for students who need extra help beyond what's provided in Tier 1. This could include small group interventions.

Tier 3: Intensive support for students who need the most help, such as one-on-one assistance or specialized interventions.

The goal of MTSS is to catch issues early and provide the right kind of help to each student to help them succeed.
