2.5 Options for Tier II Interventions

Tier II team has multiple ongoing behavior support interventions with documented evidence of effectiveness matched to student need.

Date Sources

• School Tier II Handbook
• Targeted Interventions Reference Guide

Scoring Criteria

0 = No Tier II interventions with documented evidence of effectiveness are in use

1 = Only 1 Tier II intervention with documented evidence of effectiveness is in use

2 = Multiple Tier II interventions with documented evidence of effectiveness matched to student need

Main Idea

A wide array of intervention options increases the likelihood that student needs are met and done so in a timely way.

Surface Level to meet criteria

• Are there multiple Tier II interventions readily available?
• Do they have an evidence base of effectiveness with students?

Other Considerations

• Standard modifications of existing interventions meet criteria for multiple interventions.
  • CICO for peer attention
  • CICO for academic task avoidance
• Many approaches for Tier II support
• Focus on Tier II supports that improve student success (e.g., do more than simply remove or control the student)
• Combinations of support strategies may be very appropriate and efficient.
