Tier 2

Some students receive targeted supports

What is Tier 2 Support?

Tier 2 practices and systems provide targeted support for students who are not successful with Tier 1 supports alone. The focus is on supporting students who are at risk for developing more serious problem behavior before they start. Essentially, the support at this level is more focused than Tier 1 and less intensive than Tier 3.

Tier 2 supports include additional instruction for key social, emotional, and/or behavioral skills. Tier 2 supports often involve group interventions and can include, but are not limited to, social skills groups, self-management, and CICO.

Coordination of Services Team (COST)

This team establishes systems and practices for students requiring Tier 2 support. Team members ensure students receive timely access to interventions, oversee implementation, and regularly use data to monitor student progress and evaluate intervention outcomes. Teams use this data to determine whether to continue, modify, or fade from a student’s intervention.

The Tier 2 team meets regularly to design and refine Tier 2 interventions. The team is responsible for reviewing students referred for additional supports and provides training to families, school personnel, and students regarding interventions.
