Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports, or MTSS, is a framework designed to help students (TK-12) achieve their best academic and social-emotional outcomes. MTSS models include tiers, or levels, of instructional and other support, so that all students can progress through education that meets their needs.

The three tiers of support are Inclusive Instruction, Strategic Intervention, and Intensive Intervention. The visual below exemplifies how these supports are applied and lists some support systems represented across every tier.

A pyramid showing the 3 tiers of instruction. Tier 1 is all students having access to needed materials and standards, Tier 2 covers students who need a little extra help, and Tier 3 covers students who need a lot of help

Manteca Unified applies MTSS strategies across various departments to ensure we meet every student where they are in all environments, be it in their everyday classroom, a career setting, an emerging setting, or through any of our student services.

Expanded Learning Opportunities Program

Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) focuses on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of students through hands-on, engaging learning experiences that compliment learning activities in the regular school day and school year.

Expanded Learning gives students opportunities to engage in activities that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in. Such activities include the 9hr. Day Program, intersession, summer programs and camps as well as enrichment clubs and activities of student interest facilitated by MUSD staff and community partners.
