MTSS is a framework that is designed to meet the needs of the whole child through an integrated multi-level prevention system. MTSS uses team-based leadership, and data-based decision making, to meet the academic and non-academic needs of all students. High quality core academic instruction and non academic practices are provided as universal supports to all children. Evidence-based intervention and supports are matched to student needs and informed by ongoing progress monitoring and additional assessments.
