Learning Disabilities Teachers' Knowledge about A Multi -Tier System of Supports (MTSS) in Qassim Schools: A Descriptive Study

Abstract

The current study aims to reveal the level of knowledge of multi - tiered systems of support (MTSS) by teachers of learning disabilities in the Qassim region. This study relied on the descriptive method, and the questionnaire as a study tool to collect data, The sample of the study consisted of (98) male and female teachers of students with learning disabilities who were selected using the purposive sampling method, with (55) male and (43) female teachers. In its results, the study concluded that the level of knowledge by teachers of learning difficulties was a medium degree. The researchers attribute the current result to the lack of adequate training for teachers, a lack of understanding of multi-tiered systems of support within schools, a lack of professional competence, and a lack of appropriate resources to meet the needs of this system.
