Multi-Tiered System of Supports, or MTSS, allows teachers to quickly identify student needs and the best methods to address them. These can be needs of individual students or groups of students, related to academics, behavior or both. The idea is to get each and every student – those with profound needs, those who are exceptionally gifted and all those in between – what he or she requires to be successful.
Wake County was chosen to be among the first school districts in the state to use MTSS. All public school districts in North Carolina will be implementing MTSS in coming years.
