  • 国产探花is committed to achieving high levels of engagement and learning through a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework that provides academic and behavioral strategies and supports for students with various needs.  Within this framework there are multiple tiers of support illustrated by a triangle.

    • Some students may need additional instruction and support and will receive more focused, targeted small group intervention.  This is considered Tier 2. 
    • In Tier 3, individual students receive the most intense instruction and support based on individual students needs, in addition to core and supplemental academic, social, emotional, and behavioral instruction and support.

    School Social workers provide a wide array of interventions/services that support the entire student population as well as specific/individual student needs utilizing this Multi-Tiered System of Sypport (MTSS) framework.
