What is MTSS?

• MTSS is a comprehensive framework designed to address the diverse academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs of all students. It provides a proactive and data-driven approach to identify and support struggling students. It utilizes a three-tiered model of support that encompasses universal (Tier 1), targeted (Tier 2), and intensive (Tier 3) interventions.

Gates Chili MTSS Vision

• Gates Chili is committed to implementing an effective Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to equitably provide resources and ensure comprehensive supports that addresses the unique needs of each student. We are dedicated to supporting and empowering staff to implement high-quality academic, social/emotional, and behavioral instruction and intervention across all tiers, resulting in improved outcomes for each student.
