Multi-tiered systems of support take a proactive approach to identifying students with academic or social-emotional needs. Early assessment and intervention for these students can help them catch up with their peers sooner. The key components of MTSS include:

• Universal screening of all students early in the school year

• Tiers of interventions that can be amplified in response to levels of need

• Ongoing data collection and continual assessment

• Schoolwide approach to expectations and supports

• Parent involvement
