MTSS for Well-Being

A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) for well-being. Universal supports that meet the social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs of students and staff.

This page is designed to support educators as they implement a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) for Well-Being. Meeting the social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs of students and staff may seem overwhelming. This page includes information and resources that can help educators implement MTSS for Well-Being in an effective and efficient manner. If additional support is needed, school administrators may reach out to the School Improvement Consultant or Regional Administrator for that district.

Central Rivers AEA MTSS Infrastructure/Framework Innovation Configuration (IC) Maps

This IC Map is intended to be used as a tool to guide the Social, Emotional, Behavior and Mental Health (SEBMH) work in your district/school/classroom. Users are encouraged to first, identify current practices for each element and then develop an action plan that will enable them to move to the next level of practice. The closer educators demonstrate the practices as outlined in column “A”, the closer they are to demonstrating best practices with regard to this innovation. This tool is to be used as a self-assessment tool to aid educators in the application of the continuous improvement process around these components and is intended to be an ongoing process across time. This tool is NOT to be used to evaluate staff regarding the implementation of these practices.
