What is Tier 3?
What is Tier 3?
PBIS’ framework doesn’t just work with school-wide and targeted supports. It’s also an effective way to address sometimes dangerous, often highly disruptive behaviors creating barriers to learning and excluding students from social settings.

At most schools, there are 1-5% of students for whom Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports have not connected. At Tier 3, these students receive more intensive, individualized support to improve their behavioral and academic outcomes. Tier 3 strategies work for students with developmental disabilities, autism, emotional and behavioral disorders, and students with no diagnostic label at all.

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.
