🍎EDUCATING ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS🍎 Four Martin County schools have been recognized for their efforts to build and sustain a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) framework. MTSS refers to all instructional strategies, interventions and other resources that are implemented by school teams to help all students achieve. Effective MTSS builds culturally responsive academic and behavior supports to create effective environments that address a range of student needs. Florida's Problem Solving/Response to Intervention Project's Recognized Schools program honors schools for the work they are doing in building and sustaining their MTSS. The Martin County School District accounted for 20% of recognitions received throughout the state for the 2020-2021 school year. Congratulations to the following schools: 🍎Bessey Creek Elementary School 🍎Jensen Beach Elementary School 🍎Palm City Elementary School 🍎Warfield Elementary School
