Multi-Tiered Intervention Systems • Comprise academic and behavior support systems • Include Response to Intervention (RTI), Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS), Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and other tiered intervention models
Salient Features of Multi-Tiered Systems • Universal screening (all students) • Progress Monitoring (students at risk, or with identified difficulties) • Multi-level support system • Data-based decision making to: • Evaluate systems • Determine program effectiveness • Adjust instruction
Characteristics of Multi-Tiered Instruction Numbers of tiers vary, but typically comprise: • Primary prevention/Tier 1: Core program • Secondary prevention/Tier 2: Standardized, supplemental intervention • Tertiary prevention/Tier 3: Individualized, intensive intervention
