MTSS

Behavior and mental health are not as important as academics in MTSS.

MTSS is a framework that can provide students with the academic, behavioral, social, and mental health supports

MTSS is new and in addition to response to intervention (RTI).

A component of MTSS is using assessment data to drive differentiated instruction & decision making for some students

RTI and positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) are examples of tiered systems under the MTSS umbrella.

Students with disabilities should have access to all tiers in MTSS.

MTSS is provided through the collaborative efforts of general and special education.

In MTSS everyone has a role to play—teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, counselors, caregivers

MTSS involves universal intervention for all students and targeted intervention for the rest.

An MTSS framework should be used only when skill deficits are apparent
