Ohio's Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports
Ohio’s Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (Ohio's Integrated MTSS) is a framework for student success and is designed to assist districts and schools in developing a local multi-tiered system of supports.
Ohio's Integrated MTSS framework includes key components to facilitate the delivery of effective, data-informed academic and non-academic instruction and supports to all students. The framework serves students at risk of not meeting grade-level expectations as well as those ready for instruction beyond grade-level expectations.
Ohio's Integrated MTSS is the collective responsibility of all levels of the educational system. Through collaborative leadership and teaming, focused professional learning, and consistent communication and collaboration, each level plays a role in creating the conditions for effective academic and non-academic instruction and supports for all Ohio students.
