Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports

Ohio’s Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (Ohio’s Integrated MTSS) is a comprehensive framework designed to promote student success by helping districts and schools develop effective, locally tailored systems of support. Through its key components, the framework guides the delivery of data-informed academic and non-academic instruction to meet the diverse needs of all students—supporting those at risk of not meeting grade-level expectations as well as those ready to advance beyond them. The framework is broken down into student learning and adult implementation components.

Guiding Documents

As a part of the Statewide System of Support, State Support Teams work closely with the Ohio Department of Education to provide training, resources, and technical assistance to schools and districts as they strive to ensure that each child has access to a high-quality education. The documents, policies, and laws shared here provide the foundation to this work.
