Tier 1 – Core Instruction – All Students 

Tier 1 encompasses the entire school with core instruction for reading, math, and written language. 

Tier 2 – Small Groups - Some Students 

Some students need a little extra assistance in meeting academic goals and/or to catch up with their grade-level peers. This level of support is Tier 2 and typically includes support via small group instruction in the area of need, in addition to the core instruction. 

Tier 3 – Individual Support - A Few Students

A subset of students has significant challenges that do not respond to the interventions and supports in Tier 1 or Tier 2. This level of support is Tier 3 and typically includes support via individual instruction in the area of need, in addition to continued support in Tier 2, and receipt of core instruction.
