TIER 3 |
Saturday, August 23, 2008 10:03 PM |
Students in Tier III continue to receive services of Tier
I balanced daily instruction plus classroom interventions. Tier II and Tier
III can be combined for one intensive intervention strategy or Tier III may
increase the frequency, duration, or type of intervention. Students in Tier
III are progress monitored weekly. After 4 weeks of Tier III interventions,
the School Intervention Team meets to consider the data. A referral for an
evaluation to consider eligibility for special education services will be
made if adequate progress is not evident. The special education personnel
will meet with the School Intervention Team and parent to help determine
assessment needs.
Under the state of Tennessee’s process for determining eligibility of a
student with a disability, a referral to the IEP Team is required. Under the
provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act this should
only be considered:
- After appropriate instructional interventions and
strategies have been implemented in the general educational setting and
the student continues to be at risk: or,
- If the student displays obvious characteristics
of a child with a disability
- The nine evaluation standards required by the
state have been met.
