Text on a gold background reads: Multi-Tiered System of Supports.

Region 3 provides training and technical assistance to support our districts as they implement the multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework. The MTSS framework can be considered the umbrella for other support systems, such as RTI, PBIS, DBI, and mental health supports. Response to Intervention (RtI) is a campus-wide approach to meet the academic and behavioral needs of all students.  It is a problem-solving approach to determine and apply the most effective instructional practices for each student.
