DEFINITION
Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a framework that helps educators
provide academic and behavioral strategies for students with various needs. MTSS
grew out of the integration of two other intervention-based frameworks:
Response to Intervention (RtI) and Positive Behavioral Intervention and support
(PBIS).

RTI
Response to intervention (RTI) helps students who
are struggling with academics. It provides
increasing levels of support to help them catch up.
Learn more about RTI.
PBI
Positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) is an
approach schools use to promote school safety and good
behavior. All students are taught how they’re expected to
behave. These expectations are described in a positive way.
(“Be respectful” instead of “Don’t talk back.”)
It focuses on the “whole
child.” That means it
supports academic growth,
but many other areas, too.
These include behavior,
social and emotional needs,
and absenteeism (not
attending school).
