Multi Tiered Systems of Support

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), based in the data-informed decision-making practices of Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), explicitly offers a multi-tier approach. Emphasis is on schoolwide, differentiated universal core instruction at Tier 1; Tiers 2 and 3 provide intensive and increasingly individualized interventions. While MTSS encompasses many of the positive behavioral supports from PBIS, it is a much more comprehensive program encompassing and using data from the RTI process.
