Tier 2: Targeted Interventions
Students not making adequate progress in the regular classroom in Tier 1 are provided with increasingly intensive instruction matched to their needs on the basis of levels of performance and rates of progress. Intensity varies across group size in regards to frequency and duration of intervention. These services and interventions are provided in small-group settings in addition to instruction in the general curriculum. These interventions are usually in the areas of reading and math. The period of time that a student is in intervention depends on many factors. The educational team will periodically assess scores, attitude, motivation, and how the student is doing in his/her core classes to determine if he/she has closed his/her gaps in learning and can be dismissed from intervention classes, or if he/she should continue intervention classes. Students who continue to show too little progress at this level of intervention will continue in Tier 2 intervention, or the student would be considered for more intensive interventions as part of Tier 3. Students who have shown progress and who have closed their gaps in learning, will be dismissed from intervention.
