MTSS and RTI tiered support template

MTSS and RTI organise support in three tiers: quality teaching for everyone, small-group help for some and intensive support for a few. This example shows the tiers as rings for a Year 4 reading cohort of 124, with the share of students in each, the data rules for moving in and out of each tier and the screening calendar.
