Monroe School Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)

Monroe School’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) program is designed to ensure every student receives the academic and social-emotional support they need to thrive. At the heart of our MTSS is a robust Response to Intervention (RTI) academic program. Each grade level implements dedicated RTI blocks 4–5 days per week, providing all students with targeted intervention and enrichment in both ELA and math.

RTI Academic Program Benefits:

  • Early Identification & Support: Through universal screening and regular progress monitoring, we quickly identify students who need extra help and provide timely, data-driven interventions, eliminating the “wait to fail” approach.
  • Personalized Learning: Students receive instruction tailored to their individual needs, whether they require additional support or greater academic challenges.
  • Improved Achievement: Research shows that RTI leads to significant gains in student achievement by ensuring that all learners receive high-quality, research-based instruction and interventions.
  • Equity & Inclusion: All students, including those with advanced abilities or learning gaps, benefit from a structured, equitable approach that keeps everyone on track for success.
  • Collaboration: RTI fosters teamwork among teachers, specialists, and administrators, ensuring consistency and innovation in addressing student needs.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Counseling:
We complement our academic supports with the Second Step SEL curriculum, which helps students build essential skills in empathy, emotion management, and problem-solving. This proactive approach reduces behavior problems and contributes to a positive, inclusive school culture.

Our tiered counseling services ensure that students’ social-emotional needs are met at every level. Support options include:

  • One-on-one counseling
  • Small group counseling
  • External counseling partnerships

We encourage families to consider Daybreak, our trusted partner, for additional counseling resources and support.

Together, our MTSS approach, combining rigorous academic RTI, SEL instruction, and comprehensive counseling, creates a supportive environment where all students can achieve their fullest potential.
