Why KyMTSS?
Purpose
KyMTSS promotes coherence by integrating and aligning systems-level approaches and state/district/school initiatives under one comprehensive framework to more efficiently use resources while focusing on improving outcomes for every student.
Academic and behavioral multi-tiered systems are interconnected through the use of integrated practices, teaming structures, comprehensive data analysis and team-based decision-making so all students thrive academically, socially and behaviorally.
Reading and math proficiency, access to a strong local curriculum aligned to standards, high quality instructional resources, chronic absenteeism, school-based mental health, social, emotional and behavioral health, and trauma-informed schools are examples of initiatives to support strengthening Tier 1.
