CCS MTSS Core Components
Six Critical Components of MTSS
Leadership & Teamwork
Leadership & Teaming
School leaders are essential for MTSS. They provide a clear vision, allocate resources, and model data-based problem-solving.
Building Capacity & Infrastructure
Infrastructure requires ongoing professional development, coaching, and schedules that allow for collaborative planning and intervention.
Communication & Collaboration
Success depends on involving stakeholders, including families and community partners, to build consensus and ensure continuous improvement.
Problem-Solving Process
A four-step cycle (define, identify, plan, evaluate) is used to address student outcomes and remove implementation barriers.
MTSS Pyramid of Instruction
Multiple Tiers of Instruction Model
Instruction is organized into three levels: Differentiated Core (all students), Supplemental (some students), and Intensive (individualized, high-level support) for both academics and behavior.
Data-Evaluation
Teams use student data and implementation fidelity checks to make informed educational decisions and improve the framework.
