Multi-Tiered System of Supports

What is MTSS?

A Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a “tiered system of supports that integrates assessment and intervention within a school-wide, multi-level prevention system to maximize student achievement and reduce behavioral problems. MTSS promotes systems alignment to increase efficiency and effectiveness of resources” (Adopted from National Center on Response to Intervention, 2010).

Ensure all students receive high-quality, evidence-based instruction in a supportive environment, meeting academic and behavioral needs through systematic school-wide support and ongoing collaboration involving teachers, administrators, families, specialists, and community partners.

Georgia Multi-Tiered System of Supports (GaMTSS) is a data-driven, multi-level prevention system designed to meet the needs of the whole child by implementing a continuum of tiered supports. GaMTSS is grounded in the belief that academics, behavior, and well-being are interconnected and impact student success. By integrating academics, behavior, and well-being data, systems, and practices, teams can align efforts to address barriers to learning and improve outcomes.

EIP (Early Intervention Program)/REP (Remedial Education Program)

The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is designed to provide interventions for students who are at risk of not reaching or maintaining their academic grade level based on their performance on state or national assessments or performance measures in English Language Arts/Reading, Mathematics, or both to help them meet grade-level expectations within the shortest possible time.

The Remedial Education Program is an instructional program designed for students in grades 6-12 who have identified deficiencies in reading, writing, and math. This program provides individualized basic skills instruction as mandated by Georgia Law in the areas of reading, mathematics, and writing.
