• 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.

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.
