Multi-Tiered System of Supports, or MTSS, will help teachers work together more efficiently, use data more effectively; and, approach their work more strategically. The overarching goal is to improve the quality of instruction that every single child receives. MTSS has three levels, or tiers, of instruction and support all aimed at giving teachers a streamlined way to provide the best instruction to all students.
Tier I includes the instruction and support provided to all children.
Tier II serves students needing more help. Extra instruction and support often are provided to these children in small groups.
Tier III is for children who need intense support in order to succeed. Extra instruction and support are provided, often in even smaller groups or one-on-one.
