MTSS isn’t a specific curriculum. It’s a proactive approach that has key elements:

• Universal screening for all students early in each school year

• Increasing levels of targeted support for those who are struggling

• Integrated plans that address students’ academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs

• A schoolwide approach to student support, with teachers, counselors, psychologists, and other specialists working as a team to assess students and plan interventions.

• Professional development so staff can provide interventions and monitor progress effectively

• Family involvement so parents and caregivers can understand the interventions and give support at home

• Frequent monitoring of students’ progress to help decide if they need more interventions

• The use of evidence-based strategies at every tier of support
