Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)

Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) - a term related to Response to Intervention. Sometimes the terms are used interchangeably, but the approaches differ in several ways. Among several distinctions between the two approaches is that MTSS emphasizes a system-wide responsibility for student support at all grade levels and throughout the district or state. Meanwhile, RtI can be implemented at any level (classroom, grade, or school, district).

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation; the AFT; the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation; and three anonymous donors.
