A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a comprehensive continuum of system-wide resources, strategies, structures, and practices in place to proactively address the academic, social, and emotional needs of students and to address barriers to student learning. Essentially, MTSS is the framework for how we teach and support our students here in SMMUSD. 

The SMMUSD MTSS umbrella graphic depicts the key programs and practices in place districtwide TK-12. SMMUSD’s comprehensive and responsive MTSS framework focuses on student outcomes, high-quality instruction, a continuum of intervention and support, data-based problem solving and decision making, and fidelity of implementation.  

The MTSS Framework provides a structure to achieve an inclusive, equitable, and positive learning environment to meet the needs of each and every student.
