The multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework guides you in using evidence-based instructional practices to meet your students' diverse learning needs. It helps you identify gaps in achievement that indicate students may benefit from targeted support to address additional learning needs. A key focus of MTSS is monitoring the impact of your instruction and interventions for students to ensure they’re effective.
This practice guide will help you to understand:
- the elements and characteristics of MTSS
- the importance of consistent, evidence-based practices for whole-class instruction and targeted support
- the role of a classroom teacher within MTSS.
The Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) has published a range of resources on MTSS for school leaders in secondary schools, with a focus on literacy and numeracy, including an MTSS framework.
