Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

Multi-Tiered System of Supports - Overview

A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a prevention framework that provides support matched to the unique needs of students in order to maximize achievement and reduce behavior. The essential components of this whole-child approach include screening, progress monitoring, multi-level prevention, and data-based decision-making.  

Student Support Team

Purpose:

The Student Support Team (SST) is a collaborative problem-solving process in every Georgia school.  Its purpose is to find ways around roadblocks to academic, behavioral, and social-emotional success for any student referred to it.  As part of the MTSS process, SST considers the individual needs of students in order to develop and refine plans that include support and evidence-based intensive intervention strategies designed to close skills gaps and increase success in school. SSTs are most effective in schools where collective responsibility of all students is the norm and collaborative data-based decision-making is consistently supported.
