Georgia's MTSS News
The units supported within the Office of Whole Child Supports include, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Integrated Wellness, School Safety, and now Georgia's Tiered System of Supports for Students.
“Aligning the work of Georgia’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) with Whole Child Supports is an ideal opportunity to broaden the scope of work and collaboratively demonstrate how varied tiered supports for students can be provided through academics, behavior, and connectedness and wellbeing," said Program Manager Karen Suddeth.
The Office of Whole Child Supports assists districts, schools, and communities in identifying and addressing student non-academic barriers to success while expanding learning opportunities. "Our mission is to ensure all students feel safe, healthy, supported, challenged , and engaged," said Ashley Harris, Director, Whole Child Supports & Strategic Partnerships.
