What is Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)? MTSS is the new name for Response to Intervention (RtI). The goal remains the same: Help all students read proficiently. Multi-Tiered System of Supports focuses on three tiers of intervention: Universal/Core Instruction provided to every student Targeted Instruction provided to students who are either struggling or need to be accelerated (Tiger Time instruction for ALL students) Intensive Instruction for students who are significantly behind (Title I Services or Special Education Services)
