Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

In ISD 728 our Advanced & Gifted Learners model is based on a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).

  • TIER 1 - Effective Differentiated Core Instruction - All Students

This tier addresses what is happening in the classroom on a daily basis for all students.  Teachers provide standards-based, differentiated core instruction.
ISD 728 leverages clustering, flexible readiness grouping, and/or targeted differentiation to support the range of instructional needs within each classroom.  This allows teachers to more effectively meet each student’s educational needs and provide beneficial peer opportunities.

  • TIER 2 - Targeted Enrichment Interventions & Supports - Some Students
    Tier 2 is designed to give additional targeted instruction for students who need additional enrichment interventions. While each school may call it something a little different, each school has devoted time when a student can receive additional support as needed.  This time may be called WIN (What I Need).
     

  • TIER 3 - Intensive Enrichment Interventions & Supports - A Few Students
    For a few of our students, the grade-level curriculum doesn’t meet their needs.  In those specific cases, a team collaborates to develop an individualized academic plan for the student.
