Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
A multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) is a proactive and preventative framework that integrates data and instruction to maximize student achievement and support students social, emotional, and behavior needs from a strengths-based perspective. MTSS offers a framework for educators to engage in data-based decision making related to high quality instruction and intervention, social and emotional learning, and positive behavioral supports necessary to ensure positive outcomes for districts, schools, teachers, and students.
Greenville ISD’s MTSS process is composed of three tiers of support. Tier I is experienced by all students in the general education classroom and is characterized by differentiated core instruction and school-wide behavior management practices and social-emotional learning. If a student needs academic or behavioral/social-emotional support beyond what is typically provided at Tier I, the student will be referred to the MTSS Committee for placement in Tier II interventions. At Tier II, students receive targeted instructional or behavioral/social-emotional support designed to meet their unique needs and facilitate their success in the general education classroom. Students who do not respond to Tier II interventions may be referred to MTSS Tier III, where they will experience more intensive interventions.
