MTSS is a system schools use to help all students succeed by providing the right level of support based on each child’s needs. Teachers and staff closely monitor progress and adjust instruction or interventions as needed to support learning, behavior, and emotional growth. The goal of MTSS is to work together with families to help every student reach their full potential in school.
