Abstract


In many school systems across Florida, students are at an increased risk of academic failure due to behavior. Due to these behaviors, many students are being disciplined in forms that distance them from education. To alleviate these problems, the Florida Department of Education has mandated the use of MTSS-B in schools to support the academic and behavioral needs of students in Florida’s school systems. ​

Previous research conducted on the implementation of MTSS-B in schools has shown that the MTSS system in school systems is effective in behavioral changes (Heliyon, 2023). ​

This study’s purpose is to evaluate and investigate how school systems implement the use of MTSS-B for students with behavioral challenges.
