Learn. Empower. Grow.

North Dakota’s Multi-Tier System of Supports empowers schools to support and prepare all students for success academically, behaviorally, socially, and emotionally through high-quality instruction and interventions.

What is NDMTSS?

North Dakota’s Multi-Tier System of Supports (NDMTSS) is a framework to provide all students with the best opportunities to succeed academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally in school.

NDMTSS focuses on providing high-quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals. Data are used to allocate resources to improve student learning and support staff implementation of effective practices.

Why we do this work

The purpose of MTSS is to provide adequate and equitable tiered support for all students while also supporting educators and administrators to more effectively and efficiently help students succeed.

MTSS is designed to help every student succeed and for every teacher to know how to help each student. With MTSS, teachers are able to better evaluate student needs and match instruction, resources, and interventions accordingly. MTSS places a strong priority on prevention and early intervention.

  • MTSS provides a system for continuous improvement and ensures that everyone has a common understanding of implementation and outcomes.
  • MTSS allows district policies to remove barriers to effective implementation
  • MTSS helps schools organize resources by aligning academic standards and behavioral expectations.
  • MTSS supports educators and administrators to help students more effectively and efficiently.
