What is a Multi-Tiered System of Support?

  • MTSS is a school-wide framework that uses data-driven, targeted interventions to support students based on their individual academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs.
     
  • MTSS emphasizes the whole child by identifying needs through universal screeners and diagnostic assessments.
     
  • MTSS begins with strong foundational instruction for all students (Tier 1).
     
  • MTSS provides increasingly intensive support through Tiers 2 and 3.
     
  • MTSS includes both enrichment and learning supports to address a range of student needs.

Purpose of the MTSS

Baldwinsville Central School District uses a three-tiered support system to improve academic, behavioral, and social-emotional outcomes for all students.

Levels of support:

  • Tier I – Core instruction and support that all students receive.
     
  • Tier II – Extra help for students who need additional support.
     
  • Tier III – Intensive support for students with more significant needs.
