Sharyland ISD

Sharyland ISD is committed to providing the highest quality education to all students, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. As part of this commitment, we are transitioning from the Response to Intervention (RTI) model to the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).

The shift to MTSS reflects our dedication to creating an inclusive and equitable learning environment where all students can thrive. By adopting MTSS, Sharyland ISD is taking a proactive approach to early identification and intervention, fostering a school culture that emphasizes continuous improvement, collaboration, and data-driven decision-making.



What is MTSS- Multi Tiered System? 
Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is an educational framework designed to provide targeted support to all students. It aims to address the academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs of students through a layered approach of increasingly intensive interventions. Here’s an overview of the key components and principles of MTSS:

Tiered Intervention System

Tier 1 Universal Interventions- High-quality classroom instruction and universal screening for all students. This tier focuses on delivering core curriculum and instruction that is evidence-based and effective for the majority of students.   
Tier 2 Targeted Interventions- Additional support for students who are not meeting benchmarks through small group interventions. These interventions are more focused and specific than those in Tier 1.
Tier 3 Intensive Interventions- Individualized and intensive interventions for students who demonstrate significant needs. This tier often involves one-on-one support and tailored instructional strategies.
