Tier 2

Evidence-based interventions led by classroom teachers for academics, behavior, and social/emotional learning for 5-20% of students. Evidence-based interventions should include the following components:

• Set a goal: Identify the specific skill or behavior you want to improve. This goal should include a baseline and should be measurable and achievable.

• Examples of a specific skill: staying on task, arriving to class with materials

• Examples of baseline data: teacher Likert scales, student self-assessment, number of behavior incidents or absences/tardies, number of failing grades

• Instruction and learning: Deliver targeted instruction to address the identified need. Use evidence-based practices and curricular materials; adapt instruction to meet individual student needs.

  • • Academic examples: Menu of AVID schoolwide lessons (originally created for HMS advisory)

    • Behavior example: Menu of HMS Raider Way/PBIS safe-respectful-responsible lessons

    • Social and Emotional Learning examples: 

      • Second Step lessons

      • Be Good People lessons: https://sites.google.com/scred.k12.mn.us/scredsel/educators/be-good-people-curriculum

• Data and Progress Monitoring: Regularly collect progress monitoring data with an evidence-based tool to track student improvement. Use this information to adjust instruction as needed and to celebrate successes. 

  • Examples: teacher Likert scales, student self-assessment, number of behavior incidents or absences/tardies, number of failing grades
