The Lyons Letter 9.14.18: Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

What is MTSS?  It is a multi-tier approach to early identification and support of students using key instructional strategies, universal screening tools and on-going data analysis to implement effective interventions.  

Think of the tiers within a pyramid, as you move closer to the top, or point, the more specific the support.

Tier 1– Universal Level

  • Takes place in the general education classroom on a daily basis. 
  • High-quality, differentiated, research-based instruction.

Tier II—Targeted Level

  • Takes place within or outside the general education classroom.
  • In addition to classroom instruction. 
  • Remediation of specific skills or concepts in small groups.

Tier III— Intensive Level

  • Takes place outside of the general education classroom.
  • In addition to classroom instruction.
  • Intensive skill-specific intervention.
  • One-on-one or small group instruction.

Touch base with any questions!
