Schools use a system called MTSS (MultiTiered System of Supports) to help every student succeed. This framework uses data to understand student needs and provides different levels of academic and behavioral support based on those needs.
The goal is simple:
👉 Identify challenges early and provide help before problems grow.
How MTSS Works
- Students receive support at different levels depending on how much help they need.
- Schools use proven, researchbased teaching and intervention strategies.
- Student progress is monitored often to see what’s working and what needs adjustment.
- Decisions are guided by data, not guesswork.
- Support is offered for academics and behavior.
