Tier 3: Customized Learning Interventions
Intensive intervention is designed to increase the student’s rate of
learning, and focuses on narrowly defined skill areas. In Tier 3
intervention settings, the same intervention is given as Tier 2, but the
time and intensity is increased. Smaller student groupings help
increase teacher-to-student ratios and increase individualized
instruction time. With SOLO Writing Coach, low-performing students show
accelerated writing gains with aim lines that reach benchmark
performance—helping Tier 3 students catch up to their peers.
Tier 2: Small Group Instruction
Tier 2 intervention is designed for students identified as at-risk who are
missing performance benchmarks of the core curriculum. A short
intervention period (6-8 weeks) with SOLO Writing Coach helps students
catch up quickly and reach writing benchmarks. Approximately 70% of
students who receive a Tier 2 intervention should have a positive
response to the intervention. A small percentage of students who do not
show gains sufficient to reach benchmarks need more time and intensity
in Tier 3.
