Screenshots of 3 Blueprint pages (cover, MTSS visual, misconception vs. reality)

All students are capable of success. A Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) is a framework for how school districts can build the necessary systems to ensure that each and every student feels connected to their learning community and can access grade-level learning and beyond.

The MTSS Blueprint for Massachusetts was updated in 2025. The new Blueprint unpacks MTSS from three perspectives: why it is important, what it entails, and how to approach implementation. It reflects a holistic view of student development and MTSS implementation lessons from the field and research.
