At Berlin Central School District, our focus is on maximizing the diverse talents and aspirations of our students and developing successful, responsible, and contributing members of our 21st Century society. We provide a challenging curriculum that meets or exceeds NY State’s common core standards and our well–trained faculty are dedicated professionals, coordinating efforts among the school, family, and community to foster high expectations and provide the best opportunities for our students to succeed. Thanks to our supportive community, Berlin Central School District students enjoy a hands-on, interactive approach to learning in modern, updated facilities with access to the latest learning technology.
A multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) is a proactive and preventative framework that integrates data and instruction to maximize student achievement and support students social, emotional, and behavior needs from a strengths-based perspective. MTSS offers a framework for educators to engage in data-based decision making related to program improvement, high-quality instruction and intervention, social and emotional learning, and positive behavioral supports necessary to ensure positive outcomes for districts, schools, teachers, and students. The MTSS framework is comprised of four essential components: screening, progress monitoring, multi-level prevention system, and data-based decision. – Center on Multi-Tiered System of Supports at the American Institutes for Research
