MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Support)
Arbor Park School District 145 believes that increased student learning requires the consistent practice of providing high quality instruction matched to student needs. In a high-quality educational environment, student academic and behavioral needs are identified and monitored continuously by using documented student performance data to make instructional decisions. Unique needs are addressed, parents are informed and involved, and all staff work toward the common goal of raising achievement.
Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a general education framework through which a school creates a high-quality educational environment by screening the needs of all students; differentiating core instruction for all students; applying research-based interventions to address specific needs of students; and continually monitoring progress to ensure success. MTSS is a systemic, continuous- improvement framework in which data-based problem-solving and decision making is practiced across all levels of the educational system for supporting students. High quality education requires collaborative efforts from all district staff and administration, general educators, special educators, bilingual/EL educators, and paraprofessionals to facilitate that process.
