Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) framework was established as a comprehensive, equitable approach for addressing urban students’ academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs. Still, confusion surrounded its implementation. On returning to in-person instruction, urban educators have been challenged to resurrect their school’s MTSS framework while simultaneously confronting many other issues, such as increased student absenteeism, academic achievement deficits, and staffing shortages. Consequently, revisiting this matter is warranted, particularly concerning operating MTSS frameworks in high-poverty urban schools. Accordingly, this paper explains the design and operation of an MTSS and then discusses its historical evolution and current relevance. Next, the article identifies drivers of well-functioning MTSS frameworks while discussing the circumstances surrounding high-poverty urban schools. The paper concludes with a discussion of a core component of an MTSS framework that urban educators have identified as one for which they need more information: intensifying instruction. Properly addressing this component will equip urban educators with the foundational knowledge they need to design and implement an MTSS framework tailored to their unique circumstances
