Tier 1 Lessons

School counselors align their school counseling program with MTSS by providing direct and indirect student services including: 

• Tier 1 interventions in the form of classroom instruction and schoolwide programming and initiatives

• Tier 2 interventions including small-group and individual counseling, consultation and collaboration with school personnel, families and community stakeholders

• Tier 3 indirect student support services through consultation, collaboration and facilitation of referrals (Goodman-Scott, et al., 2020).
