Florida’s Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a system where resources and services are
organized efficiently on a continuum of intensity based on students’ academic and behavioral
needs. MTSS represents the integrated work of the Florida Problem Solving/Response to
Instruction/Intervention Project and the Florida Positive Behavior Support Project, which has also
been frequently referred to broadly as the Response to Instruction/Interventions (RtI) Framework.
RtI refers to the fourth step of the planning/problem-solving process where teams use student
response data to make instructional decisions to improve academic and behavioral outcomes.
