Welcome to the MTSS Center
Since 2007, the MTSS Center has been a national leader in supporting states, districts, and schools across the country in implementing a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). MTSS is a framework that integrates data and instruction within a multi-level prevention system to maximize student success from a strengths-based perspective.

Tier 1 instruction is the foundation of an effective MTSS, as all students have access to high-quality, standards-aligned instruction. When Tier 1 is strong, the majority of students meet grade-level standards and expectations without additional intervention support. As a result, schools can use resources for Tier 2 and Tier 3 more efficiently and strategically. In this new article, Maggie Trout shares the importance of a strong Tier 1, the essential features of Tier 1, and tips to ensure an effective Tier 1.
