Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

Your child’s school is committed to providing high-quality instruction and support to promote the highest achievement of all students. Educators understand the importance of creating an environment of rigorous learning opportunities in every classroom.  The state’s focus is on prevention and using evidence-based practices to make decisions that support the unique needs of children.  This process of identifying students who need support to improve learning and behavioral outcomes is called Georgia’s Tiered System of Supports for Students.  The framework has been nationally vetted and aligned with the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework. This framework also helps educators by providing information (data) to identify students needing additional support (academic and behavioral) and also identify students who may need special education. Adjustments to instruction and interventions are based on students’ performance and rate of success.
