Secondary Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

In Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), the Secondary Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a proactive approach to ensuring all students receive the support they need to succeed, academically, behaviorally, and socially.

MTSS helps schools identify student needs early and provide the right level of support through a tiered system of increasing instructional time and intensity. Whether a student needs extra help or additional challenges, MTSS ensures they receive high-quality, standards-based instruction and targeted interventions.

What is MTSS?

A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a seamless prevention framework that integrates all students. It is a term used to describe an evidence-based model of schooling that uses data-based problem solving to integrate standards-based instruction, interventions, and assessments to address the full range of student academic and behavioral needs present in today’s classroom.

Understanding How MTSS support the whole child 

MTSS, Response to Instruction and Intervention (RtI), and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is often spoken of synonymously, and for those new to MTSS, it can be difficult to determine what people mean when these terms are used interchangeably. It is important to keep in mind, though, that MTSS is a framework for aligning resources and initiatives; it is a method of organization. As such, MTSS encompasses both RtI and PBIS and systematically addresses support for all students.
