TIER II ... What does it look like?

TIER II: Students not responding to Tier I efforts – group and individual interventions, Specialized Research-based Interventions

If no progress, or insufficient progress, after six weeks of Tier II interventions, then Instructional Support Team (IST) reviews:

Additional assessments?

Previous interventions.

Changes in instruction or behavioral interventions?

Determine whether child needs Tier III interventions?

The child’s progress is also being evaluated during the Tier II interventions after each progress monitoring to determine if the student is on target to meet the goal. If not, the intervention will be adjusted at that point instead of continuing with a program that is not working.

If no progress, or insufficient progress, after 12 total weeks of Tier II interventions, child
moves to Tier III interventions.
