MTSS - Interventions & Enrichment

Districts across the country are using a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework to create systems of care that ensure students get what they need, academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally. 

MTSS, an acronym for “multi-tiered system of supports,” is an organizational framework used at Beers to ensure all students’ needs are met through increasingly targeted interventions across three levels of support. As our educators build intervention plans, they use data to help them make well-informed decisions that will produce the best outcomes for each student.

The MTSS tiers are often visualized in a pyramid. Tier 1 is the foundation and includes universal supports for all students. Tier 2 consists of individualized interventions for students in need of additional support, and Tier 3 includes more intensive interventions for students whose needs are not addressed at Tiers 1 or 2.

Interventions are part of a system to quickly and proactively deliver supports to students, rather than waiting until the end of the year or a summative assessment.
