MTSS (Multi-tiered Systems of Support) is a Framework for School Improvement MTSS training will develop the systems that support implementation of multiple initiatives and interventions. Review definitions of MTSS: A Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a term used to describe an evidence-based framework that utilizes data-based problem solving to integrate academic and behavioral instruction and intervention. The framework is designed to provide all students with the best opportunities to succeed academically and behaviorally in school. 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 are used to allocate resources to improve student learning and support staff implementation of effective practices.

Children are not perceived to be fixed/trapped in programs, compartments, categories, or levels. The concept presented in this continuum is that a Multi-tiered system of supports is desirable and students move in and out of supports that meet their needs academically and behaviorally….but are always supported by the system.
