Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

MTSS in D102

In D102, our goal is to make learning meaningful and accessible to every student, every day. Having a robust MTSS process allows us to identify student needs and provide support for each student to thrive. MTSS in Illinois is designed to ensure ALL students get appropriate instruction & supports, maximize student achievement and increase social, emotional, behavioral student competencies.

MTSS Process

Tier 1 Instruction

Tier 1 instruction is the core instruction for all students. It is well-balanced and focused on delivering standards-based instruction in universally accessible ways through evidence-based/informed core curricula and differentiated Instruction.

Tier 2 Intervention

Tier 2 instruction is targeted for students in need of additional support. Tier 2 takes place in addition to core instruction. Students are identified through the use of data/ screening tools. Tier 2 interventions target specific student needs and students are monitored to ensure growth.

Tier 3 Intervention

Tier 3 intervention takes place when more time and/ or intensity is needed to support student growth. At this tier, interventions are highly individualized to meet student needs. Progress is monitored closely to ensure growth.
