Interventions and Progress Monitoring for mClass, Istation, and other Researched-Based Interventions:

  • Interventions at Tier 3 are monitored every two week (10 thirty minute intervention sessions or intervention totaling 5 hours every two weeks.)

  • Should last at least 8-10 instructional weeks. This can include the weeks of interventions from Tier 2.

  • All students enrolled in the Tier 3 intervention group have the same shared intervention need.

  • The student-teacher ratio: Tier 3 up to 5 students.

  • Tier 3 interventions occur daily in sessions of 30 mins or more

  • Tier 3 Intervention outcomes discussed at grade levels and MTSS meetings.

  • MTSS team and classroom teacher will determine if a child is making improvements.

  • If the child is progressing academically, then continue interventions until the child progresses back to Tier 2.

  • If no improvements, continue with the intervention plan requirements.

  • Match interventions with the academics, behavioral, or attendance needs from the Intervention Matrix or from a selected, researched-based intervention.

Istation Interventions:

  • Print out the intervention lesson plan(s) and attach to referral.

  • Instructional Tier Goals
