What is Tier 2?
What is Tier 2?
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 often involve group interventions with ten or more students participating. Specific Tier 2 interventions include practices such as social skills groups, self-management, and academic supports. Targeted interventions like these, implemented by typical school personnel, are likely to demonstrate positive effects for up to 67% of referred students.

The purpose of the SWPBIS Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) is to provide a valid, reliable, and efficient measure of the extent to which school personnel are applying the core features of school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (SWPBIS). The TFI is divided into three sections: Tier 1) Universal SWPBIS Features; Tier 2) Targeted SWPBIS Features; and, Tier 3) Intensive SWPBIS Features) that can be used separately or in combination to assess the extent to which core features are in place.

The TFI is completed by the Climate & Culture Team (typically 3-8 individuals including a building administrator and external coach or district coordinator), often with input from Tier 1, 2, and/or 3 teams if these are independent groups. It is strongly recommended that the TFI be completed with an external SWPBIS coach as facilitator. Validity research on the TFI shows that school teams are more accurate when an external coach facilitates TFI completion.

The TFI is intended to guide both initial implementation and sustained use of SWPBIS. Each administration of the TFI results not only scales scores for Tier 1, Tier 2, and/or Tier 3, but also information for developing an implementation action plan.
