Tier 1 instruction is for ALL learners.
When finding more & more learners in need of services in Tiers 2 & 3, the FIRST thing to do is go back & look at Tier 1.
Don't buy a program, add an intervention, or spend money.
Do go & make sure Tier 1 is what it should be.
That's it
Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.
Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working.
Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers.
It's the only way things change.
When Tier 1 is weak, lots of students look like they need intervention.
When Tier 2 is weak, lots of students look like they need Tier 3 or special education.
Strong investments in Tier 1 & Tier 2 is a critical starting place for prevention.
Access gaps = outcome gaps.
