MTSS
Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports & Interventions
Open Parachute resources are designed to fully integrate within a district’s Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) framework, providing evidence-based resources across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 levels to address the mental health needs of students.

Program Design for MTSS Clarity
Every lesson in the Open Parachute curriculum, from Pre-K to Grade 12, is explicitly labeled with its corresponding MTSS tier. This allows educators to easily identify which lessons are designed for universal instruction versus those intended for targeted interventions.
Through this integrated MTSS approach, Open Parachute ensures that resilience lessons are adaptable, evidence-based, and accessible across all levels of student need, enabling districts to provide equitable, tiered interventions that align with their MTSS framework.
Targeted & Intensive Supports
For students requiring more intentional support, Open Parachute provides a robust set of Tier 2/3 lessons, clearly labeled within the platform for easy educator identification.
