Strategic Interventionsfor
Students at Risk of Academic Failure
Level 3:Intensive
InterventionsFor Low Performing
Students; Alter curriculum, Add time, Support, resources…
Comprehensive Individual Assessment
Level 1:Benchmark Assessment and School Wide Interventions
(Universal Screening)for Students on Grade-level (benchmark) and
All Students (Effective Instructional Practices provided within the General Education Curriculum)
Level 2:Strategic and Targeted Interventions
For Students At–Risk for FailureStrategic Instruction, Increased Time and
Opportunity to Learn

Technical Assistance Network, 2005)

Tier 1
Tier 1 consists of general education instruction with the following features:
Scientific, research-based curriculum
Consistent implementation that has been proven successful for vast majority of students
Screening of all students, to identify which students are at risk in core content areas
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 6
When Students Don’t Respond at Tier 1
Consider further diagnostic assessment
Data can help better plan instruction/intervention
Place into small groups
Groups should be homogeneous
Monitor progress
Change instruction based on student data

The Need for Additional Assessments Prior to
Beginning Tier 2 Intervention
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 8
Additional Assessments Analogy
If you have a medical = concern, you….
If they are not sure =what is wrong…..
Go to the your doctor
They order more tests
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 9
Additional Assessments
Just like in the medical example.
Every academic concern needs more information to better plan a way to fix it.
i.e. for a reading difficulty is it:
Vocabulary?
Fluency?
Phonics?
Phonemic Awareness?
Comprehension?

Tier 2 Assessment
Diagnostic
Norm-referenced, standardized
Yields specific information about strengths & weaknesses
Diagnostic and Prescriptive
Specific results directly linked to intervention

Tier 2 Within Your Building
Take time to develop a list of assessments available in your school for each content area.
Talk to specialists and see what tools they have that may help in providing additional assessment information.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 18
STUDENT IDENTIFIED AS AT RISK AFTER UNIVERSAL SCREENING AND TIER 1 INSTRUCTIONAL INTERVENTION
Student may be reviewed at an intervention and progress monitoring team meeting(grade-level meeting, problem solving team, RTI team); might include: classroom teacher, content resource teacher/specialist, educational diagnostician, RTI specialist, school psychologist, etc. (Often the start of Tier 2)
Team determines if additional information needed to refine interventions; and/or selects Research-based intervention to implement and progress monitor prior to assessment.The form (type) of assessment should vary based on individual needs and questions to beAnswered.
Tier 2 and Your Teams
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 19
Small Group Instruction
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 20
Tier 2
Tier 2 and Beyond often consists of general education instruction plus the following intervention:
Small-group instruction (2-4 students)
3-4 intervention sessions per week (30-60 minutes per session)
Conducted by trained and supervised personnel (not the classroom teacher)
Conducted in and out of the general education classroom
9-12 weeks in duration (repeated, as needed)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 21
Tier 2 Small Groups (1:3, 1:5, 1:10)
Point system for motivation
Immediate corrective feedback
Mastery of content before moving on
More time on difficult activities
More opportunities to respond
Fewer transitions
Setting goals and self-monitoring
Special relationship with instructor
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 22
Who provides the Interventions?
It is not important whether a certified teacher or a paraprofessional provides the instruction. But instruction should be systematic, highly explicit, and highly interactive
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 23
Progress Monitoring
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 24
Tier 2
Monitor the progress of Tier 2 students at least once a month
Use this data to determine whether students still require intervention. For those students still making insufficient progress, school-wide teams should design a tier 3 intervention plan.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.5.29.08 25
Progress Monitoring
Schools need to monitor the progress of these students so that personnel possess information on how a student is doing in specific skills.
It is important to use progress-monitoring data to regroup students after six weeks.
Tier 2 students who demonstrate improvement and return to tier 1 should be carefully monitored to ensure that general classroom instruction is adequate.
