MTSS & RTI

Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

The Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework is focuses on intervention within the areas of academics, behavior, and social-emotional learning. Each area follows the 3-tier system moving from Tier 1 instruction and support for all students and to targeted and intensive interventions with appropriate accommodations for students who need a higher level of support..

The goal of MTSS is to identify struggling students early and quickly provide intervention. Additionally, students who are working at or above grade level receive appropriate practice and extension. This ensures that all students get what they need to be successful in school.

We offer a wide range of professional development in all three areas in addition to campus coaching and program reviews.

Response to Intervention (RTI) 

ESC Region 12's Response to Intervention (RTI) Support program provides professional development through training, technical assistance, and leadership to district and charter school personnel. The program is based on both federal legislation and a statewide initiative. Technical assistance to LEAs is offered to develop a district/campus framework that addresses the needs of all students through a continuum of services which provide high-quality instruction and tiered intervention strategies aligned with individual student needs.

Positive Behavioral interventions and Supports (PBIS)

ESC Region 12 has a team of specialists dedicated to supporting districts as they implement and maintain their PBIS programs. The specialists provide important information regarding important topics including basic classroom management, provided tiered interventions and services, and properly support students with disabilities through Section 504 and special education. We offer a variety of training sessions, technical assistance, and coaching to aid districts in establishing proactive, safe, and supportive school environments. 

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) 

ESC Region 12's SEL team consists of specialists and counselors who assist districts with creating and improving a framework that properly meets the social-emotional and mental health needs of their students. We provides professional development, technical assistance, program reviews, and coaching at the services center and at districts upon request. The goal is to help districts build capacity to sustain a proper tiered intervention framework with a solid Tier 1 foundation for all students along with targeted and intensive supports for students who have more in-depth needs. We also guide districts in creating effect 504 plans and IEPs for students with SEL-related disabilities.
