Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is an integrated system of high quality, standards-based instruction and interventions that are matched to students' academic, social-emotional, and behavioral needs. The framework relies on strong core instruction and layered tiers of supports for all needs of the whole child, with a focus on equity and cultural responsiveness as a means of ensuring student success. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) advocates for the use of MTSS in Minnesota's public schools to increase the number of students meeting grade-level standards and graduating with skills for further education and careers. MDE's work with MTSS is connected to implementing practices that embed the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards with fidelity and building supports to increase academic achievement for all students. This summary presents highlights of the "Funding for Multi-Tiered System of Supports Implementation: Summary of Interview Findings with Minnesota Schools" (ED616747) and the conversations with representatives from Michigan, Wisconsin, and Florida.
