NC MTSS Definition
NC MTSS is a multi-tiered framework which promotes school improvement through engaging, research-based academic and behavioral practices. NC MTSS employs a systems approach using data-driven problem-solving to maximize growth for all.
NCDPI MTSS Vision
Every NC Pre K-12 public education system implements and sustains all components of a Multi-Tiered System of Support to ensure college and career readiness for all students.
NCDPI MTSS Mission
NCDPI will prepare and support LEAs to implement a Multi-Tiered System of Support for total school improvement by providing professional development, coaching and technical assistance, research and evaluation, and communication and visibility that results in college and career readiness for all students.
NCDPI believes that MTSS is the most effective and efficient approach to improving school outcomes and student performance thereby ensuring equitable access to a sound basic education.

Process for some students
Framework for total school improvement
Tier I: Core
10
Who: All students are in Tier I (Core)
What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to produce good academic and behavior outcomes for the majority of students
Effectiveness: If at least 80% of all students are meeting academic and behavior benchmarks in Core alone. What about subgroups?
Slide adapted from G. Batsche
Tier I – Core
• Includes all students
• Focus on all students across a grade and response to core
• Monitor response (of all students) to instructional changes
Analyzing Foundational Core
Analyzing Foundational Core
• Are at least 80% of your students proficient in each subgroup with foundational core alone?
• What is working? Why? How do you know?
• What’s not working? Why? How do you know?
• Do teachers have needed skills & content knowledge?
Tier II: Supplemental Instruction
Slide adapted from G. Batsche
Who: Students needing supplemental support in addition to Core instruction (approx. 20% of students)
What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to improve academic and behavior performance in Core
Effectiveness: If at least 70-80% of students improve academic and behavior performance (toward Core standards)
Tier II – Supplemental + Core• Instruction is connected to core content
• Supplemental instruction does not supplant core
• Analysis of effectiveness of Tier II instruction for all students (towards Core Standards)
Tier III: Intensive Instruction
16
Who: Students needing Intensive support in addition to Supplemental and Core instruction (approx. 5% of students)
What: Evidence-based programs and practices demonstrated to improve academic and behavior performance
Effectiveness: Academic and behavior progress toward performance in Core
Slide adapted from G. Batsche
Tier III – Intensive + Supplemental + Core• Instruction is most intensive in the building
• Increase intensity and frequency (time, duration, or digging deeper in specific skill)
• Analysis of effectiveness of Tier III instruction for all students (towards Core Standards)
Tier II – Supplemental + Foundational Core• Instruction is connected to core content
• Supplemental instruction does not supplant core
• Documentation is on same form for individual student
• Analysis of effectiveness of Tier II instruction for all students (towards Core Standards)
