Key principles of MTSS

Principles

Description

All students can learn to grade-level, given the right level of

support

Belief that a students failure to learn results from incorrect

instruction not due to innate learning capacity of student

A proactive, preventative approach to education

Problems are more easily fixed when they are prevented altogether or
identified early on

Use of evidence-based practices

To give students the best chance at success, we use what has been
proven to work

Use of data-based decision making

To avoid biases and subjectivity, clear data are used to guide

decisions

Instructional match between support and need

Students need the right match between their skill level and the
amount of support provided in order to progress and learn

School wide use and collaboration

Creating a culture of unity and support can lead to more effective and
sustainable results and practices
