MTSS PLANNING STARTS NOW

MTSS gets its name from a “layered” system of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional supports, starting with a solid foundation of high-quality core classroom instruction for all students. Where the need for additional supports emerge, students receive evidence based interventions to address skill gaps.

Click the flyer below to learn how Strategic Integration Liaisons partner alongside district leadership teams to support sustainable, systems-level change through MTSS and Meaningful Access (formerly known as Inclusion). This collaborative work focuses on using data to guide decisions, aligning systems to district priorities, and building strong Tier 1, 2, and 3 supports that improve outcomes for all students.

A district or campus MTSS Playbook creates a clear, aligned framework for supporting all students—academically, behaviorally, and socially. It defines roles, streamlines processes, and ensures consistency across campuses.

By building a shared system driven by data and strong practices, districts increase staff clarity, improve outcomes, and create sustainable support for every student.

SILs are currently exploring interest from districts who may want to participate in developing an MTSS Playbook this summer or fall.

The Texas Education Agency is launching Intervention Academies as a pilot opportunity designed to strengthen instruction and intervention for students who need additional support. Similar to the Reading and Math Academies, this initiative provides educators and leaders with evidence-based strategies to build foundational skills, accelerate learning, and close achievement gaps.

Strategic Integration Liaisons are here to support your team throughout the process—from application to implementation—working alongside you to connect this learning to your MTSS systems and district goals. We encourage campuses and districts to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to build capacity and improve outcomes for all students.

This Month-by-Month MTSS Checklist is a comprehensive, yearlong planning and implementation tool designed to guide schools and districts in building, refining, and sustaining effective Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). It outlines key actions across the school year—from summer planning through end-of-year reflection—focusing on data-driven decision making, structured team processes, universal screening, intervention planning, progress monitoring, and continuous improvement. The resource supports educators in aligning academic, behavioral, and social-emotional systems while ensuring fidelity of implementation, strengthening Tier 1 instruction, and responding proactively to student needs.
