MTSS in Education: A Practical High School Guide

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework for organizing academic, behavioral, attendance and student-support responses around need. In high school, MTSS becomes especially useful when teams can connect early warning signals, interventions, ownership, communication and progress monitoring instead of treating each concern as a separate process.

THE PROBLEM

High-school support breaks down when the student story is fragmented.

High-school MTSS can become meeting-heavy when information, intervention plans and follow-up live in different places. Teams need a shared view of the student, the support being attempted, who owns the next action and when progress should be reviewed.
