2.3 Screening

Tier II team uses decision rules and multiple sources of data (e.g., ODRs, academic progress, screening tools, attendance, teacher/family/student nominations) to identify students who require Tier II supports.

Date Sources

• Team Decision Rubric
• Team meeting minutes
• School Policy

Scoring Criteria

0 = No specific rules for identifying students who qualify for Tier II supports

1 = Data decision rules established but not consistently followed or used with only one data source

2 = Written policy exists that (a) uses multiple data sources for identifying students, and (b) ensures that families are notified when a student enters Tier II supports
