OUR STORY
For the past two decades, the Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS) framework has provided districts across the United States a clear process that supports ALL learners in a classroom setting. Implementation of MTSS is one of the single most effective systemic instructional moves. The essential pieces comprising an MTSS system include involving all stakeholders in the process, continuous assessment, high quality universal instruction, and multi-tiered supports. The MTSS Center was formed because of you - educators who care about each and every learner, their achievement and their growth.
A partnership with the MTSS Center will provide your learning community with professional development to solidify the belief that all students have the ability to achieve at high levels. Through a collaboration with your school or district, we will provide services tailored to meet the unique needs of your learners, educators and administrative team.
MISSION
The FIRST Education MTSS Center’s Mission is to ensure ALL students receive access to high quality instruction regardless of their abilities and/or disabilities and to develop and strengthen pedagogical practices within a multi-tiered system of support that provides students access to an appropriate level of challenge in order to realize their full potential.
VISION
Our Vision at The MTSS Center is to recognize every learner’s path is not the same. Acknowledging diverse learner needs exist in classrooms, compels us to provide support to schools and districts in order to implement a process for achieving higher levels of academic success for all students. When high impact instructional strategies, intentional data collection and aligned assessment interact within a multi-level system, the potential for achievement is ignited.
