Uinta County School District #1 Definition of Multi-Tier System of Support (MTSS):
A Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a school-wide prevention framework that integrates assessment and intervention to maximize student academic achievement and pro-social behavior. Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) are examples of MTSS frameworks.
Uinta County School District #1 is implementing an MTSS system that proactively identifies students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitors student progress, provides varying levels of support based on student need, and adjusts the intensity and nature of those interventions based on a student’s responsiveness.
By utilizing an MTSS framework to address the needs of learners in our district we will better realize our vision that all students will be prepared to meet the demands of 21st century citizenship, careers, and post-secondary education.
