What is MTSS?

Here at Safe Haven Academic Learning Center, we use Evidence Based Curriculum to improve student learning.  MTSS Mult-Tier Support System is used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of student Comprehension levels of the educational materials presented to them for their studies.  MTSS stands for Multi-Tiered System of Supports, a schoolwide framework designed to provide escalating academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support to all students based on their needs.

The Art & Science of Reading, Writing & Education

MTSS is a proactive, data-driven framework used by schools to identify students who may be struggling and provide timely interventions before challenges escalate. It focuses on the whole child, addressing not only academic growth but also behavior, social-emotional learning, and attendance. MTSS is not a specific program or curriculum; rather, it organizes existing resources, staff, and instruction into a structured system to maximize student success. 

​

Multi Tiered Support Structure

MTSS uses a multi-tiered approach to support students:

• Tier 1: High-quality core instruction for all students, designed to meet the needs of approximately 80% of students. 

  ​

• Tier 2: Targeted interventions for students who need additional support, often delivered in small groups. 

  ​

• Tier 3: Intensive, individualized interventions for students with significant academic, behavioral, or social-emotional needs. 

  
  Students can move between tiers based on ongoing progress monitoring and data analysis, ensuring support is proportional to their needs
