Policy: Students 145.2 Behavior Management & Intervention (in revision)
What is the Multi-Tiered System of Support for Behavioral Health (MTSS-B) Framework?
Students distracted by distressing emotions are less available for listening, watching, absorbing, and retaining information. Without appropriate supports, students are at risk for more severe behavioral health difficulties. Schools are a hub for behavioral health services for students and families, and research shows that students are 6x more likely to complete evidence-based interventions in schools versus other community settings (See the NH MTSS-B Technical Assistance Center's Supporting Literature).
MTSS-B stops the cycle of competing, detracting, and duplicative initiatives, builds capacity through alignment with community partners, and measures school and student outcomes through ongoing evaluation of data.
