The School Counselor &
Multi-Tier System of Support
(MTSS)
Although students have a range of different needs, MTSS allows all of them to access rigorous and engaging learning opportunities in Tier I (for ALL) as well as research-based supports in Tier 2 (for SOME) and Tier 3 (for FEW). These tiers represent the level of support a student may need at any point in their schooling. All tiers are universally designed to ensure equitable access for all students.
