Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)
Addressing Classroom Behavior with MTSS
Are you involved in the team that decides which tools your organization uses for behavior management? Are you interested in scheduling an online demo for your team?
The Challenge of Classroom Behavior
In every classroom, behavior problems are nearly inevitable. However, when these behaviors persistently disrupt the learning environment, they impact not only the student displaying the behavior but also their peers’ learning experiences. Many teachers find themselves unequipped to manage these challenging behaviors independently, which can lead to frustration and a negative classroom atmosphere.
What is MTSS?
Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a proactive, data-driven framework that helps schools identify, address, and mitigate behavior issues through evidence-based strategies and interventions. MTSS uses a tiered model to meet students’ unique needs while fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. Research shows that when implemented effectively, MTSS significantly reduces disciplinary incidents and increases academic engagement among students (Smith et al., 2018).
MTSS: More Than Just Behavior Support
MTSS also enhances school culture and teacher professional development by offering resources that equip educators with the skills they need to manage behaviors effectively. Continuous training opportunities allow teachers to stay updated on the latest evidence-based practices, empowering them to create a supportive and structured classroom environment.
How Insights to Behavior Enhances MTSS
One of the leading resources within the MTSS framework is Insights to Behavior, a comprehensive platform that supports teachers in addressing behavior across all three tiers. It provides:
- Behavior Intervention Plans tailored for students requiring targeted and intensive interventions.
- Over 200 research-based strategies for managing behavior effectively.
- Access to 100+ interactive professional development workshops, helping educators stay informed on the latest behavior management practices.
With these tools, teachers can apply proven, evidence-based methods in their classrooms, leading to improved behavior and overall student success.
The Bottom Line
