• Resumen

  • In recent years, educational systems around the world have been changing the focus of their efforts to deal with academic failure and school dropout, from the management of unsuccess to an intervention based on the promotion of success for all students, aiming to construct inclusive schools. One possibility to achieve this is through the implementation of multi-tiered systems of supports, a broad concept that involves several models of intervention. Two of the most recognized systems are the Response to Intervention (RtI) and the Positive Behaviour Support System (PBIS). In this paper, we present the most relevant characteristics of both models and explore research about the impact of MTSS in academic success. We will conclude with some guidelines to implement the general principles of MTSS in schools, to promote academic success.
