SEL Tiered Intervention
Weymouth Public Schools uses the Massachusetts MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) Framework. This framework is a proactive approach in identifying and addressing the academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs of students. As part of our commitment to this framework, we created Pathways which provides a variety of skill-building opportunities for our secondary students in the least restrictive settings. The Student Intervention Team (SIT) is in place to help support students currently struggling. The process for student support can be found here.
This inclusive and strengthed based approach allows for Social-Emotional Learning interventions to happen during the school day, in all areas of learning, and for all students. In order to meet the needs of all students, a variety of interventions are offered.
