A Multi-Tiered System of Supports is a framework for continuous improvement that is systemic, prevention-focused, and data-informed, providing a coherent continuum of supports responsive to meet the needs of ALL learners. An MTSS framework utilizes a “whole child” approach that recognizes the importance of each student’s attendance and academic, behavioral, social and emotional well-being.
The staff at Sunnybrook School District #171 strives to see that all children are successful in school. To accomplish this we prioritize helpling all children learn by helping students as much as possible within the general education setting.

Progress Monitoring is a scientifically-based practice that involves more frequent assessment of the progress of students who are receiving additional support.
Scientifically-Based Instruction refers to specific curricula, interventions, and practices that have been proven to be effective through research.
