ABSTRACT
Multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) is foundational for successful student outcomes, the equalizer to providing a socially just education for all students, and the framework for eradicating the school-to-prison pipeline. Ideally, MTSS would be adopted into public policy, as it proves to be the most effective way to allocate resources and maintain services and supports for school children. MTSS is a resource allocation framework for stakeholders, especially school administrators, to map out school resources and build the systems and processes required to support those functions at each tier. It strives to support the needs of all school children and educators through climate and culture. Without a doubt, school psychologists are some of the most knowledgeable experts in MTSS in schools. Talented individual practitioners of school psychology in addition to open-minded administrators and educators are the magic combination to unlocking MTSS potential on a school campus.
