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.
