Tier 2 practices stem from a strong foundation of Tier 1 support. 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. With school-wide systems in place, schools are able to identify which students need additional support. Tier 2 supports build on the lessons provided at Tier 1 and may prevent the need for more intensive interventions. Tier 2 supports are provided to small groups or students with similar needs, offering more time and/or detailed instructions on the core curriculum.  

Objectives:

• Identify students who would need or benefit from Tier 2 instructional services and related supports based on an analysis of Tier 1 data
• Select and analyze appropriate sources and types of behavioral data to develop and test hypotheses about variables influencing the Tier 2 problem
• Select evidence-based standard-protocol interventions for use at the Tier 2 level based on analysis of hypotheses, match student need to treatment provided, and evaluate effectiveness of interventions used
