Pioneered by scholars in education and school psychology,
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) is a framework for providing
comprehensive academic and behavioral health services for K-12 students.
Use of this framework has been strongly advocated by school systems,
policymakers, and researchers at the state and national levels. To
effectively implement MTSS, school districts may need to provide more
comprehensive school-wide programming that requires additional
professional development to build or expand their efforts. Training in
MTSS Is more essential than ever for Teachers, Academic Coaches,
Instructional Leaders, School Counselors, School Psychologists, Child
Study Team Members and Administrators to address the ongoing academic
and behavior health needs of students.
GSAPP
offers two convenient, fully online learning paths: an 18-credit
certificate program and a 30-credit master's degree in applied
psychology focused exclusively on MTSS in school settings. These
programs have been designed for current or future professionals in
education (e.g., general or special educators, instructional leaders,
administrators, counselors, psychologists, or other support
professionals) who are looking to become change agents in their schools
or districts.
