MTSS

What is the MTSS Team?

The MTSS Team is a problem solving team comprised of general educators and other specialists. The purpose of the MTSS Team is to assist regular education, school-age students who need extra support beyond the classroom in order to be most successful. Areas of need may vary from student to student, and may include issues related to:

  • academic concerns

  • behavioral concerns

  • medical concerns

  • speech and/or language concerns

  • fine and/or gross motor concerns

  • social and emotional supports

  • Acceleration/High Ability learner

Teachers, administrators, or parents may refer a student to MTSS Team for Behavior, Language Development, Articulation, Attendance, Fluency/Stuttering. The team uses Universal Screening data to identify students for academic interventions. The MTSS Team reviews the student's history as well as current information with parents/guardians and the student's primary classroom teacher. Following the initial parent meeting, next steps include:

  • Development of a research-based intervention plan

  • Weekly monitoring of the student's response to the intervention

  • Regular review of student data

Ultimately, the MTSS Team’s goal is to support the needs of the student through targeted interventions and development of skills leading to overall improvement in classroom performance.
