Beginning in the 2021-2022 school year, ESDs across Washington State initiated support to school districts to ensure every student has equitable access to the instruction and supports they need to thrive. In coordination with OSPI, the Multi-Tiered System of Supports Cohort through ESD 101 leads districts through implementation of an evidence-based framework focused on organizing the efforts of adults within systems to be more efficient and effective.
MTSS consists of 5 essential components which enable teams to work together to adapt instruction and supports to varied student needs.
Component 1: Team-Driven Shared Leadership
Component 2: Data-Based Decision Making
Component 3: Family, Student, and Community Engagement
Component 4: Continuum of Supports
Component 5: Evidence-Based Practices
