Strengths-Based MTSS
(Multi-Tiered System of Supports)

Here’s how P2’s approach stands out:

1. Improvement Through Empowerment: Instead of framing support as fixing something that’s “broken,” P2’s approach frames intervention as a means of empowering students. When students see that educators believe in their potential, it can lead to greater motivation, resilience, and a sense of self-efficacy.
2. Leveraging Strengths for Growth: P2 utilizes the strengths of students as a foundation to help them overcome adversities in their lives. This approach fosters a more optimistic and empowering environment, where students are seen as capable of growth and change, even when facing significant challenges.
3. Adversity as a Catalyst for Strength: P2 acknowledges that students often face significant life challenges, and instead of merely trying to alleviate these difficulties, the approach aims to help students use these experiences as stepping stones for personal growth. By connecting strengths with strategies for overcoming adversity, students can build the resilience needed to thrive both academically and personally.

In summary, P2’s MTSS approach addresses adversity by emphasizing strengths and empowerment. It positions students not as problems to be fixed — but as individuals with inherent potential that can be nurtured and developed. This helps create a more positive, supportive, and motivating environment for learning.
