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.
