Tier+II

There are times when additional building staff is needed to address concerns. These concerns are addressed through informal consultation with additional professionals, to elicit their support, services and/or recommendations for an instructional plan.

Steps of cyclical problem-solving repeat, but more school personnel are involved as needed:
 * Parent
 * Teacher
 * Counselor, school psychologist, reading teacher, administrator, social worker, nurse, etc.

The intensity of the interventions increase.

**Intervention Design**
__Academic Intervention Design__

//**Design:**// Specific to the student's learning profile Minimum of 2 interventions per area of need Minimum of 3 to 4 intervention sessions per week At least one intervention session per week must be provided in a small group setting (maximum of 5 to 7 students). //**Setting:**// Appropriate setting as determined by the need; can be conducted in and out of the general education classroom //**Progress Monitoring:**// Must take place a minimum of once every two weeks.
 * //Focus://** Student receives supplementary instruction, in addition to the core instruction. The intention of the supplementary instruction is to provide time-limited interventions with the goal of accelerating student learning to meet grade level expectations.
 * //Interventionist://** Classroom teacher and other school personnel as identified by need.

__Behavior Intervention Design__

//**Focus**//: Student receives supplementary instruction in behavior or social skills, in addition to the core instruction. The intention of the supplementary instruction is to provide time-limited interventions with the goal of accelerating student learning to meet behavioral expectations. //**Design:**// Specific to the student's learning profile Minimum of 2 interventions per area of need (For example: behavior contract and small group social skills training) Minimum of 1 to 2 intervention sessions per week At least one intervention must be provided in a small group setting (maximum of 3 to 5 students). //**Interventionist:**// Classroom teacher and other school personnel as identified by need. //**Setting:**// Appropriate setting as determined by the need; can be conducted in and out of the general education classroom //**Progress Monitoring:**// Must take place a minimum of once every two weeks.

//Use the Implementation and Evidence Questions when making decisions for Tier II//
 * Reflective Questions for Decision Making for Tier II**

__Implementation__
 * Did the delivery of interventions follow the plan for implementation with accuracy and consistency?
 * Is progress monitoring of the intervention used and adjustments made as needed?
 * Did the intervention match the student's specific need?

//If the answer is “no” to any of the above questions, you must first make adjustments to the plan before considering moving the student up a Tier III.//

__Evidence__
 * Does the instruction or the intervention decrease the student's learning gap (learning rate)?
 * Does the intervention reduce the problem behavior and/or increase the desired behavior?
 * Does progress monitoring data determine the intervention to be effective?
 * Does student performance improved as measured by assessment(s)?
