Tier 3 Instruction
A small percentage of students who have received Tier 2 supplemental instruction will
continue to have significant difficultly in acquiring grade level skills. These students
require instruction that is more explicit, more intensive, and specifically designed to meet
their individual needs.
Tier 3 interventions are successful when:
•
They occur more frequently than Tier 2 interventions
•
The duration is longer than Tier 2 interventions
•
Progress monitoring of student progress is conducted more frequently
In some cases, Tier 3 interventions are the same as those implemented in Tier 2, though
intensified in frequency and duration. In other cases, Tier 3 interventions may be
different from those implemented in Tier 2.
