Multi-Tiered System of Support

MTSS is a multi-tiered framework that promotes school improvement through engaging, research-based academic and behavioral practices. NC MTSS employs a systems approach using data-driven problem-solving to maximize growth for all.

The Tiers of MTSS include:

• Core Instruction- on grade-level academic and/or behavioral (e.g., social-emotional, attendance, discipline) instruction that provides for differentiation for struggling students as well as students working above grade level
• Supplemental Instruction (in addition to Core Instruction)-acceleration and/or remediation in prerequisite grade level skills for students who are at-risk academically or behaviorally, or enrichment for students working above grade level.
• Intensive Instruction (in addition to Core and Supplemental Instruction)-more intensive or more frequent instruction on prerequisite grade level skills for students who are at-risk academically and/or behaviorally or more intensive enrichment opportunities for students performing well above grade level.
