Multi-Tiered System of Supports

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework for enhancing the adoption and implementation of a continuum of evidence-based practices to achieve important outcomes for every student. The MTSS framework builds on a public health approach that is preventative and focuses on organizing the efforts of adults within systems to be more efficient and effective. MTSS helps to ensure students benefit from nurturing environments and equitable access to universal instruction and supports that are culturally and linguistically responsive, universally designed, and differentiated to meet their unique needs.

MTSS helps to ensure students benefit from nurturing environments, equitable access to core instruction, and supports that are culturally and linguistically responsive, universally designed, and differentiated to meet their unique needs.
