Today’s release of the revised 2023 NeMTSS Framework (https://nemtss.unl.edu/.../2018/08/23-NeMTSS_Framework.pdf) marks an exciting moment in Nebraska’s efforts to ensure that all students have the support necessary to meet their academic, social, emotional, behavioral, physical, and environmental needs.

Nebraska's Multi-tiered System of Support (NeMTSS) is a framework designed to ensure each and every student has access to learning experiences that enhance their educational outcomes.
In the spirit of continuous improvement, the Offices of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment; Special Education; Coordinated Student Support Services; and Coordinated School and District Support at NDE undertook an effort to align, define, and streamline key workstreams to offer schools and districts a coherent model for student support.

We engaged stakeholders throughout this effort. Their feedback indicated a lack of coherence and that improved connections could be made between key workstreams of NeMTSS, HQIM, SEL, whole child, school improvement, and continuous improvement processes. Through this feedback, it was evident a revision of the current NeMTSS framework would allow for improved clarity and coherence across the workstreams.

In the 2023 NeMTSS Framework you’ll find a few key revisions:
• Streamlined four essential elements: Infrastructure and Shared Leadership, Layered Continuum of Supports. Data-Based Decision-Making, and Collaboration, and Communication.
• Focus on the importance of strong tier I as the foundation for strong learning and the starting point for a strong NeMTSS program.
• Creation of a shared glossary to allow for consistent language use across the offices of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment, Coordinated School and District Support, Coordinated Student Support Services, and Special Education.
• Revision of the problem-solving model to a 5-step problem-solving model to better align with the continuous improvement framework and activities across offices.
• Inclusion of a section to highlight how NeMTSS aligns with rule and other state processes.
• Addition of specific implementation resources, such as information on the composition and routines of shared leadership teams and examples of the four data types used to guide data-based decision-making.

Across the next six months, we will continue to align all tools and training to the shared glossary and use the NeMTSS to frame projects and initiatives and connect the dots. Trainings on NeMTSS will reflect the revised framework starting in Summer 2023, and more information on the revised framework can be found on the NeMTSS website (https://nemtss.unl.edu/).

The revised framework and supporting materials are just some of the many resources you have to look forward to in 2023 as each and every one of us here at NDE are committed to Coherence at Every Level!
