Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is a seamless prevention framework that refers to the instructional strategies, interventions and other resources that are used to help all students achieve. It is a term used to describe an evidence-based model that uses data-based problem solving to integrate standards-based instruction, interventions and assessments to address the full range of student academic and behavioral needs.  Within an MTSS framework, Bridges Preparatory School uses data to identify students at risk for poor learning outcomes, monitors student progress, provides evidence-based interventions, and adjusts the intensity and nature of the interventions depending on a student’s responsiveness.

• A Parent Resource Guide: What is MTSS and how can it help your child?

The goal of our Gifted & Talented program is to challenge students and accelerate their academic performance. Students are identified through a multi-step process which consists of screening and referral, assessment of eligibility, and placement.
