Interventions and supports received during the core instructional minutes (universal time for all) meet the needs of about 80% of a school’s population for both academics and behavior. For students who may need additional intervention and support above the regular core instructional minutes, a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework is implemented to problem solve, design, and implement individualized learning plans to close identified skill gaps. Join us as we explore the why of MTSS. Response to Intervention (RTI) and Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) fall under the MTSS umbrella and TEA's expectation of the framework.

When the current inclusive provisions and supports are not meeting the needs of a student (whether academic, behavioral, or social/emotional) that student may require other levels of support.

Schools have different ways of conceptualizing and implementing intensive interventions.

TEA's intentions of implementation will be discussed and reviewed. TSHA credit pending.
