This explainer provides an introduction to the multi-tiered system of supports framework (MTSS) for secondary school leaders and teachers looking to support students in improving their literacy and numeracy skills.

Understanding the cognitive science behind how students learn to read and the research on effective instruction makes it easier for educators to align policy and classroom teaching with evidence.

Staff at Como Secondary College (WA), Parramatta Marist High School (NSW), Parafield Gardens High School (SA), Mount Rowan Secondary College (Vic) and East Loddon P–12 College (Vic) discuss how they use leadership to drive and sustain an MTSS framework aligned with AERO’s guidance.

Literacy and numeracy are critical foundations, equipping students to access learning in all other parts of the curriculum.

Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one.
