• MTSS

    Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a Response To Intervention Model that utilizes a three tiered system designed to help District U-46 schools provide students with high-quality instruction and interventions through academic and behavioral supports.

    This three-tiered model provides differentiated instruction at a universal level to meet student needs. Students needing additional support are provided targeted intervention support in their area of need.
