Multi-Layered System of Supports (MLSS): Helping Every Student Succeed
Our district is committed to ensuring that every student receives the support they need to learn, grow, and thrive. As part of our strategic plan, we define MLSS as High Reliability Schools Leading Indicator 3.6, where “The school establishes appropriate school- and classroom-level programs and practices to help students meet individual achievement goals when data indicate interventions are needed”. The Multi-Layered System of Supports (MLSS) is a framework that helps schools provide academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support for ALL students.
MLSS helps teachers focus on providing high-quality learning opportunities for ALL students and to problem-solve for students who may be struggling:
- Layer 1: High-quality classroom instruction
- Layer 2: Additional strategic support for groups of students who need extra help
- Layer 3: Individualized interventions for students who need intensive help
