Behavior RTI: 4 Steps to Tier II Intervention Success

Last month we talked about setting up an RTI format for student behavior management. In case you’ve forgotten, Tier I is all about preventing misbehaviors from occurring by establishing and teaching a schoolwide system of expectations, consequences and providing LOTS and LOTS of positives to acknowledge appropriate behavior.

If these elements of Tier I have been solidly established, taught throughout the school, and all staff members use the plan with consistency, 80-85% of misbehaviors that typically occur in schools will be prevented. The other 15% of students will be deemed as needing Tier II and Tier III interventions.

This article take you through a 4-step process to administer Tier II interventions, as well as supplying plenty of ideas and resources for addressing specific behavior problems for Tier II students or "frequent flyers."
