Tier 2 interventions serve a subset of the student population that needs additional support beyond Tier 1. These interventions are often delivered in a group-style format. They align with the expectations outlined in the schoolwide matrix and serve as a means by which students can develop positive behavioral habits and progress back into Tier 1. Tier 2 behavior interventions include:
Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) – Students meet with a coach to develop behavior goals. Their teachers assess their progress in these areas at the end of each class period. CICO students meet with their coaches at the beginning (check-in) and end (check-out) of each day.
Social skills development – This can include assigning classroom jobs, role-playing social situations, or reading stories that teach social skills.
Structured breaks – Students can benefit from breaks that incorporate physical activity, mindfulness exercises, or sensory activities.
Home/School behavior plan – Involving the family in their student’s Tier 2 interventions can extend skills development beyond the classroom. Extending behavioral goals to the home enables the family to work together with their student to cement their progress.
Academic support –Tutoring, adapting assignments for learning needs, and providing accommodations for testing or note-taking can help students to build academic confidence.
Self-management skills development – This can include strategies such as organizational skills, task lists, time management logs, and flexible seating to minimize distractions.
Small Group Counseling Sessions-Meet with the school counselors to address some of the behavioral concerns.
