Student Support Services
Student support at RAS is provided through a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) defines an MTSS as follows:
A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) refers to a systemic, prevention-focused framework for addressing student needs through the integration and continuous improvement of systems and services. A well-designed MTSS includes:
• Multiple tiers of integrated support for academics and behavior.
• Screening to determine which students could benefit from additional supports.
• Progress monitoring of evidence-based strategies.
• Data-driven decision-making (National Association of School Psychologists).
The Learning Support Team, English as an Additional Language (EAL) Team, and Counseling Team are the three teams that form Student Services at RAS.
