Written by - | Oct 8, 2026, 7:09:45 PM

The Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework has been widely implemented in schools for more than two decades now, and for good reason. Done well, MTSS helps teams identify math risk early and accurately, then get students the right support fast enough to accelerate their learning. But the approach hasn’t remained stagnant. It continues to evolve as new research emerges.

In this webinar, Matt Burns, Ph.D., joins Amanda VanDerHeyden, Ph.D., for a conversation about the past, present, and future of MTSS. They discuss:

  • The history of MTSS and its impact on teaching and learning
  • Why MTSS is still relevant today
  • The intersection of MTSS and the Science of Learning
  • MTSS practices that should be retired and new practices to start using


Watch now for insights and guidance on how to continue to refine and strengthen your MTSS.
