In California, MTSS is an integrated, comprehensive framework that focuses on CCSS, core instruction, differentiated learning, student-centered learning, individualized student needs, and the alignment of systems necessary for all students’ academic, behavioral, and social success.

The states Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) wants to assist students through “Implementing a collaborative approach to analyze student data and working together in the intervention process”. I believe diligent collaboration between instructor and support staff can drastically affect how struggling students improve academically and socially. Having a student’s general education teacher regularly contact and coordinate with the heads of speech services, psychological services, physical and occupational services, as well as other resource programs can potentially expose struggling students to a consistent set of lesson plans crafted for that student’s individual success. The goal is to ensure that all separate phases of a student’s daily education is transparently related. Something as simple as making sure that the school’s speech therapist actively includes a student’s general education vocabulary words into a their one-on-one instruction can increase a students educational awareness, confidence and behavior.

"MTSS is an integrated, comprehensive framework that focuses on CCSS, core instruction, differentiated learning, student-centered learning, individualized student needs, and the alignment of systems necessary for all students’ academic, behavioral, and social success."

I found this quote particularly meaningful and fitting for this module's essential question of, "When should students adapt to the expectations of my practice and when should I adapt my practice and expectations to my students?" This quote specifically mentions which components of a student's education MTSS focuses on. As educators, our practice should reach each of those components of our students. I do not think educators and students adapting to a classroom's practices are two individual and separate things, but rather something that is and should be intertwined. We should be taking all these things we know about our students and how they succeed and use those as our framework. We can't expect our students to be the only ones adapting to our classrooms and practices. Our classrooms should be student-centered, individualized, and differentiated for all students' success.

MTSS offers the potential to create needed systematic change through intentional design and redesign of services and supports that quickly identify and match the needs of all students

I chose this quote because it speaks to the high degree of adaptations provided by MTSS. It signals that MTSS is a change that is comprehensive in reaching all students as well as supportive to teachers who would benefit from a structure that will meet students needs in the easiest way possible. This resonated with me because adapting teaching practices to meet the needs of every student can sometimes feel like an impossible task and having a comprehensive system which provides support to help teachers meet their students’ needs provides invaluable benefit to both teachers and students. MTSS offers a systematic change to all areas of teaching which means that students benefit from adaptations in all aspects rather than simply differentiated processes. This quote also speaks to how MTSS can be at be valuable being incorporated along with other systems that are less comprehensive such as Rtl2.

MTSS ... Enables a paradigm shift for providing support and setting higher expectations for all students through intentional design and redesign of integrated services and supports, rather than selection of a few components of RtI and intensive interventions.
