TIER II SUPPORTS

Prevention Logic for All

Focuses on the redesign of teaching environments, not redesign of students. The purpose of Tier II is to support the approximately 15% of students behaviorally at-risk.

KEY FEATURES

• Use data to identify students at-risk for behavioral difficulties.
• Prevent the development and/or intensity of students’ problem behaviors.
• Provide standardized interventions that effectively and efficiently support students.

Interventions are often provided in a group format, include standardized practices and systems that are designed to supplement Tier 1efforts.

INTERVENTIONS SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS:

• Continuously available
• Quickly and easily accessible
• Minimal time commitment from classroom teacher
• Skills can be learned easily
• Aligned with SWPBIS expectations

Untitled Slide

• All personnel are aware of the interventions and their roles in the process
• Consistently implemented with most students but with some flexibility
• Program selected is matched to the function of student’s behavior

EXAMPLES OF GROUP-ORIENTED INTERVENTIONS

• Check-In, Check-Out
• Social Skills Intervention Groups
• Self Monitoring
• Check & Connect
• First Step Next
• Academic Instructional Groups

School teams create a system to purposefully identify students who may require more intensive interventions.

SYSTEM OF DATA REVIEW

• Office referrals (ODR)
• Absences
• Tardies
• GPA
• Course grades
• Frequency of counselor or nurse visits
• Examine daily schedule

READINESS FOR TIER II

• 80% on the SAS (all four systems)
• ODRs indicate 80% of population at 0-1
• Consistent use of data reports
