Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) in the Classroom: Guidance for Integrating PBIS and Academic Instruction
Within their classroom, each educator implements, differentiates, targets, and intensifies evidence-based and culturally relevant PBIS and academic practices to meet the needs of each and every student. In this practice guide, we discuss how educators can leverage their classroom PBIS practices to inclusively support students during academic instruction by focusing on (a) promoting social, emotional, behavioral (SEB) and academic skill growth by setting students up for success and preventing mistakes; (b) teaching critical SEB and academic skills; (c) responding to SEB and academic skills to increase skill growth and decrease mistakes, and (d) deciding whether to maintain or adjust (e.g., intensify, adapt, or fade) support based on data.
