<p> TIER II http://hamburgschools.org//site/Default.aspx?PageID=9708</p><p>Tier Two Basics—these interventions are implemented based on a systematic procedure that identifies students who are non-responsive to tier one.</p><p> Performance-Based Feedback</p><p> Daily report cards with reinforcement for increasing behavioral success</p><p> Mentoring programs (one on one regularly occurring sessions with an identified staff person who be friends and supports)</p><p> Check-in-check-out systems (Student meets with a staff person to review target behavior and receive encouragement and self-monitoring data sheet in a.m., and reviews results in p.m.</p><p> Self-monitoring systems (Student records success/failure in specific time intervals in classes.</p><p> Behavior contracting (Student, staff, family agree on specific outcomes for specific behaviors.)</p><p> Social skills instruction or school counseling (Student participates in on-going school sessions.).</p><p>Tier 2: Targeted Interventions</p><p>How is Tier 2 implemented?</p><p>The following steps illustrate the general process of</p><p>Tier 2 implementation</p><p>Step 1: Create process for identifying students in need of tier 2 supports. Step 2: Create several interventions that address various needs of students. Step 3: Allocate resources to implement the interventions. Step 4: Sort students into the tier 2 interventions. Step 5: Collect data on progress of students receiving interventions. Step 6: Evaluate success and modify program</p><p>What is a Tier 2 intervention? Tier 2 interventions provide additional support for those students who do not sufficiently respond to Tier 1 strategies implemented in School-wide systems of Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS). What are the critical features of Tier 2 Interventions?</p><p> Continuously available to student</p><p> Rapid access to intervention  Very low effort by teachers with maximum benefits for students</p><p> Consistent with school-wide expectations</p><p> Implemented uniformly by all staff/faculty</p><p> Flexible based on student needs and function of behavior</p><p> Student chooses to participate</p><p> Continuous progress monitoring linked to systemic decision making process</p><p> Intervention “packages” matched to student need</p><p>What are the benefits of Tier 2 Interventions?</p><p> Improved structure</p><p> Student is “set up” for success</p><p> Increase in contingent feedback</p><p> Applied across school settings</p><p> Increased reward for appropriate behavior</p><p> Evolve to self-management</p><p> Supportive response to teacher</p><p>What does a Tier 2 System of Support look like? Tier 2 interventions are most efficiently implemented in the same way the PBS Leadership Team has implemented School-wide Systems of PBS; an integration ofdata, systems and practices.</p><p>Data ODR Suspension/Detention Minors Intervention data</p><p>Systems Structured Team meeting Bi-monthly meetings Nomination process Progress monitoring</p><p>Practices Classroom Management Checkin/Check out Check & Connect Social Skill Training (Social Stories) Organizational Skills Homework Club Newcomers Club</p><p>Resources Sprick, R., Howard, L., Wise, B.J., & Marcum, K.
