The Massachusetts Tiered System of Support (MTSS)
MTSS focuses on system structures and
supports across the district, school, and
classroom to meet the academic and non-
academic needs of all students, including
students with disabilities, English
language learners, and students who have
already demonstrated mastery of the
concepts and skills being taught. Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

Guiding Core Values All students can learn and achieve at high
standards as a result of effective teaching.
All students have access to a rigorous, standards-based curriculum and research-based instruction.
Students receive interventions at the earliest indication of need.
A comprehensive system of tiered instruction enables schools to address the full range of student needs.

Guiding Core Values- continued
Student results improve when ongoing academic and behavioral performance data inform instructional decisions.
Important decisions about the needs of students are made using a collaborative problem-solving process that includes classroom teachers, specialists, and families.
Ongoing and meaningful involvement of families increases student success.
