Tier III Supports - Pyramid - We are right on target!
- 80% or more of students will positively respond to Tier 1 - 0-1 office referrals. This is what happens in every classroom. For Linden Elementary we are at 86.7% or 300 students.
- 10-15% of students will meet data decision rules for Tier 2, sometimes called targeted or secondary, intervention. This might be a check in/check out, lunch bunch, social skills groups etc. For Linden Elementary we are at 11.3% or 30 students.
- 1-5% of students will be provided ongoing Tier 1 support and will most likely have been involved in Tier 2 support, and will still be experiencing difficulty. These students may have extended school histories or academic and behavioral difficulties over a lengthy period of time. For Linden Elementary we are at 2% or students.
