Tier 2 | Targeted Support
Students needing additional support receive more focused, targeted small group instruction/intervention and supports in addition to core academic and behavior curriculum and instruction.
Tier 3 | Intensified Support
Individual students receive the most intense instruction based on individual student need in addition to core and supplemental academic and behavior, curriculum, instruction and supports.
