Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS)
The BPS101 Strategic Plan outlines Strategies and Commitments we make to support all of our learners. In order to support all students we utilize a continuous process of improvement referred to as Multi Tiered Systems of Support. The core components of this process includes:
- Comprehensive Assessment Practices/Screening (Priority 1 – Strategy 5)
- Multi-Level Prevention System (Priority 1 – Strategies 1, 2 & 3)
- Data Based Decision Making (Priority 1 – Strategies 4 & 5)
- Progress Monitoring (Priority 1 – Strategies 4 & 5)
Our systems support the whole child by addressing social emotional, behavioral and academic growth and development of all students. These are supports and services that exist in addition to and oftentimes, prior to consideration of a school-based disability through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or Section 504. They are designed so that all students get what they need to grow.
Parents/guardians are important partners in the growth and development process – understanding how your child performs and tiers of support can help you to both partner and advocate. If you have specific questions about your child’s performance, please reach out to their classroom teacher. Not all students will require tier 2 or 3 supports just as not all students require IEP or 504 supports. Our goal is to provide the appropriate support given each student’s unique profile.
