This webinar demonstrates how the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity can support educators in systematically selecting and modifying intensive behavior intervention based on student need.
This module identifies Tier II and Tier III interventions for students at risk and high risk for behavioral challenges. By the end of this module you should be able to:
Describe the decision-making process to indicate Tier II is appropriate
Identify critical features of Tier II
Discuss how to modify Tier II interventions to meet the needs of more students
Highlight critical elements of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
Choose a desired and replacement behavior
Complete a Competing Pathway Model
Begin to identify strategies to make the problem behavior irrelevant, inefficient, and ineffective
It is important that the instructional practices and interventions delivered within a school’s multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) be grounded in evidence. However, the “practice” that happens within each tier is different; therefore, the type of evidence that is required for each tier also must be different. A useful way to think about evidence-based practices in MTSS is to think about levels of evidence that vary and correspond to the different levels of intervention intensity at each tier.
In the tables below, find resources to support the selection and evaluation of Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 or intensive interventions.
