Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)

A Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a comprehensive framework that aligns academic, behavioral, social, and emotional learning, and mental health supports in a fully integrated system of support for the benefit of all students. At Michigan Online School, we intentionally design and redesign services and support to quickly identify and match the needs of all students.

MTSS is built on the premise that a rigorous grade-level curriculum must be provided for all students while recognizing that some students may need supplemental support at various times and a few students may require more intensified support some of the time to be successful in the most inclusive and equitable learning environment of their grade-level peers.

Here at Michigan Online School, we have Academic Interventionists for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for Kindergarten through 12th grade students who qualify for intensified support. Targeted supports are provided in addition to, not in place of the grade-level curriculum, by our certified intervention team.
