MTSS: Multi-Tiered Systems Of Support
What is MTSS?
In schools, there's a system called MTSS, which provides different levels of support to students based on their needs.
- Tier 1 offers basic support to all students, including good teaching practices and positive behavior programs.
- Tier 2 provides extra help for students who need it, such as targeted interventions in small groups.
- Tier 3 gives intensive support tailored to specific student needs, like one-on-one instruction.
Title I, LAP, and EL programs are essential parts of this system:
- Title I is a federal program providing extra funding to schools with many low-income students. It supports struggling students by offering extra academic help, like tutoring.
- LAP, a state program in Washington, helps students falling behind in reading, writing, or math. It provides personalized learning plans and fits into the MTSS framework.
- EL programs assist students learning English as a second language, ensuring they succeed academically while improving their English skills. These programs align with MTSS tiers based on individual student needs.
