WHAT IS MLSS?
MLSS (Multi-Leveled System of Support) is a federal and state mandated data- based decision-making process designed to help schools focus on high-quality, scientific-based instruction and interventions.
MLSS is an integrated system of behavioral, social, emotional, and academic support.
MLSS includes all educators and learners.
MLSS addresses problems through a three-tiered system of support.
MLSS IS NOT...
The job of a few specialists. General educators play a key role in helping assess and monitor student progress.
An excuse to delay or deny a special education evaluation. Parents can request an evaluation at any time.
A separate program or class, but rather a way of organizing instruction to help all students.
A direct path to a special education referral. MLSS encourages the movement of students within tiers based on individual need.
