How is MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) different from RtI (Response to Intervention)?

Posted by:

RTI is target intervention and MTSS is a framework that focuses on the whole child.  

 

Response to Intervention (RtI) is an approach that schools use to help all students, including struggling learners.  The RtI approach gives Texas students opportunities to learn and work at their grade level.  

 

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a framework that focuses on intervention best practices within the areas of academic, behavior, and social/emotional support for the whole child.  Tiers are based on the student and increase the level of support provided as a student moves from classroom-wide to target and intense interventions.
