  2. Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

MTSS is an integrated framework for the systemic alignment of evidence-based prevention and intervention practices to support all the needs of all students. Taking a whole child approach, MTSS seeks to support the academic, behavior, mental health and wellness of all learners. When MTSS is implemented effectively, it can provide students with the supports needed to progress towards academic and non-academic goals. An integrated MTSS approach encompasses various other systems, such as response to intervention (RTI), positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS), school mental health (SMH), and other supports for early intervention and prevention.

MTSS provides varying levels of support, or tiers, based on student need, which increase as a student moves from universal, to targeted, and intensive interventions. Federal law directs schools to focus on helping all children learn by addressing problems early. MTSS supports prevention for all students and intervention for students experiencing academic and non-academic difficulties.

The MTSS framework includes three levels or tiers: universal (Tier 1), targeted (Tier 2), and intensive (Tier 3).

Strategic Integration Liaison (SIL)

 

 

Strategic Integration Liaisons (SILs) support district-level leadership teams through systems-level change management processes by providing coaching, training, technical assistance, and resources to improve student outcomes, specifically through the lens of the MTSS framework and meaningful access for all students.

There is no cost to a district for SIL services.
