Hi Parents & Students ---
Below is an explanation of the Tier 3 process and some reading strategy posters and videos. If you have any questions, please ask.
I am here to support your child in developing reading skills. I will add more videos and resources here periodically -- both for students and parents.
What is MTSS?A Multi-Tiered System of Supports is not a separate program, class or intervention but rather a way of organizing instruction and intervention to help all students. The goal of the multi-tiered framework is to provide high-quality instruction and supports based on student need.
♦ Tier 1 – All students receive high-quality instruction in academics.
♦ Tier 2 – In addition to Tier 1, students needing more support also receive small-group intervention and supports. The difference is increased time, smaller groups of students or narrowed focus of instruction. Support takes place in the general education classroom.
♦ Tier 3 – In addition to Tiers 1 and 2, students receiving Tier 3 intervention receive the most intensive supports based on individual need. The difference is individual team-based problem-solving, increased time, smaller groups of students and narrowed focus of instruction. Support takes place outside of the general education classroom with an intervention specialist. Lessons usually take place a couple of times a week with progress monitoring taking place once a week.
