Main Idea

Effective Tier II supports require participation of many adults in the school.

Surface Level to meet criteria

• Are there scheduled trainings for school team members?
• Is there a faculty-wide orientation led by the Tier II Team?
• Is there a scheduled annual orientation for new faculty?
• Are there documented strategies for orienting substitutes or volunteers?
• Is the process for requesting assistance around behavioral concerns known by all, easy to follow, and encouraged?
