Multi-Tiered System of Support
Parkside utilizes a Multi-Tier System of Support (MTSS) as the framework for responding to student behavior and social-emotional learning (BSEL) needs. Each tier of the support model prescribes a different set of strategies in addressing BSEL and as students move through the tiers of support these interventions become more individualized and intense.
