Multi-Tiered System of Support

Through close collaboration between our Instructional Services and Systemic Impact & Change teams, RCOE provides integrated support to schools and districts as they implement the California Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).

As part of this work, the following resources are provided to equip educators, school leaders, and educational partners with the knowledge, tools, and resources necessary to implement and sustain effective MTSS practices. Visitors are encouraged to reach out to our team members listed throughout this resource for additional support.

California's Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a comprehensive framework that aligns academic, behavioral, and social-emotional learning in a fully integrated system of support for the benefit of all.

The MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) enables schools and districts to proactively identify and address student needs in academics, behavior, and social-emotional learning, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes and a more supportive learning environment for all. The framework focuses on organizing and deploying resources based on data to best create a system that works for all students.

MTSS ensures every student gets what they need to succeed by offering structured systems of support throughout the school system:

Universal – High-quality instruction and universal supports for all students.
Supplemental – Targeted small-group interventions.
Intensive – Individualized support.

This helps maximize resources and tailor support based on students' needs.
