The use of multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) in schools has implications for social and cultural development. It provides the opportunity for empowerment and inclusion of students who are often overlooked or struggling to adapt, such as multilingual, neurodiverse, and sexually exploited students. Increased competency in understanding and utilizing MTSS may provide teachers with opportunities for professional development. Effective teacher training is often necessary for creating affirming, safe, and equitable educational environments. Further research into the MTSS framework may challenge educators to include social and restorative justice practices in the classroom.
