Abstract
This study investigated teachers^ perspectives on the implementation of MTSS (Multi-Tiered Support System) in a classroom that also consisted of students with deaf. This study applied the quantitative study design with survey. Data were collected from 25 teachers who were chosen purposively based on the several criteria. Survey questions were adapted from previous study and have gone through the validity and reliability testing. A total of 13 questions were answered by respondents. Answers were then analysed using simple statistics by calculating the percentage. Findings show that teachers mostly report the great understanding on the concept of MTSS. However, vast majority of them reflect that it is difficult for students with deaf to reach the learning benchmarks. Moreover, they all strongly believe that further actions need to be taken for implementing MTSS. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that teachers have adequate understanding about MTSS, yet some trainings on its implementation is highly suggested.
