Tier 1 (Core) Practices

Tier 1 (core) includes culturally and linguistically sustaining standard-based and differentiated academic, social and emotional instruction for every student as a necessary foundation for tiered support. 

Tier 1 instruction is considered effective when 80% or more of ISD One91 students across populations demonstrate proficiency on universal screeners and other standards-aligned assessments, and 95% of students across populations maintained grade-level performance from screening period to screening period. Tier 1 Core Instruction in the MnMTSS framework provides a path of learning acceleration for all students.
