Excellent Tier 1 instruction is of paramount importance as it is the foundation of students' educational experience.
Middle school serves as a pivotal transition period, and effective Tier 1 instruction ensures that all students, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds, receive a high-quality education that equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive academically and behaviorally. It sets the stage for future success by nurturing a growth mindset and a love for learning. By proactively addressing diverse learning needs and maintaining high expectations, excellent Tier 1 instruction cultivates an environment where all students can reach their full potential - ultimately reducing achievement deficits and promoting a positive school culture that addresses the unique strengths and challenges each student has.
Great Tier 1 execution reduces the Tier 2 & Tier 3 populations.
Effective Tier 1 instruction is the most critical component of MTSS. It is foundational to ensuring that all students receive high-quality, evidence-based instruction.
