It is important to note that Tiers are meant to be flexible and responsive to students’ needs, based on ongoing assessment data.
Tier 2 instruction provides targeted, higher-intensity support for a smaller group of students who are not yet meeting grade-level expectations. These students are typically identified through screeners or classroom-based assessments.
Tier 2 supports are delivered in addition to Tier 1 instruction and are typically provided within the regular classroom by the classroom teacher. These supports often take the form of targeted small-group instruction focused on specific skill areas where students need additional practice or scaffolding.
