Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is "an assessment and intervention process for systematically monitoring student progress and making decisions about the need for instructional modifications or increasingly intensified services using progress monitoring data" (NRCLD, 2006). As such, the School District of Lee County has created a practice that is designed to lead a school-based team through the MTSS problem-solving process in order to best address student needs. This practice should assist the team in the problem-solving and decision-making process. It is comprehensive, and allows the team to effectively use data to match research-based and/or evidenced-based interventions with student needs. Additionally, this approach ensures that the district is in compliance with state-adopted rules and federal mandates.
