A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a systemic, continuous-improvement framework in which data-based problem solving and decision-making is practiced across all levels of the educational system for supporting students. Tiered systems of support are designed to create predictable and safe learning environments that meet the needs of all students in all settings throughout the school. The support encompasses both academic and behavioral interventions.
Supports are organized into tiers with increasing intensity based on students’ needs.

This process may be referred to as MTSS-B.
In the past, many LPS educators referred to this type of process as RTI.
