MTSS-Multi -Tiered System of Support
A prevention-based framework of team-driven data-based problem solving for improving the outcomes of every student through family, school, and community partnering and a layered continuum of evidence-based practices applied at the classroom, school, district, region, and state level.
What is Georgia’s Tiered System of Supports for Students?
Georgia’s Tiered System of Supports for Students (Georgia’s MTSS framework) is a continuum of evidence‐based,
system‐wide practices to support a rapid response to academic and behavioral needs, with frequent
data‐based monitoring for decision making to empower each Georgia student to achieve high standards. Georgia’s MTSS provides
multi‐phase training and ongoing support for refinement and sustainability purposes for districts to implement the integrated academic, behavior, and social framework. To achieve Georgia’s MTSS, resources must be used effectively and efficiently to enable students to be successful. Georgia’s MTSS does not automatically require additional resources or add on to existing practices. Instead, it involves evaluating current practices, identifying practices that yield evidence of effectiveness, addressing areas that are missing, and replacing ineffective or inefficient approaches with those that are supported by research. Georgia’s MTSS becomes one of the primary guiding frameworks for a continuous, data based, school improvement process supporting academic, social emotional and
behavioral achievement of all students to prepare them to be successful high school graduates.
