Tier 2: Targeted, Group Support

Tier 2 practices and systems provide targeted support for students who are not successful with Tier 1 supports alone. The focus is on supporting students who are at risk for developing more serious problem behavior before they start. Essentially, the support at this level is more focused than Tier 1 and less intensive than Tier 3.

Tier 2 supports often involve group interventions with ten or more students participating. Tier 2 interventions are:

• • Aligned with school-wide expectations.

  • Implemented by all staff/faculty in a school.

  • Flexible and based on assessment.

  • Continuously monitored
