The Tier 2 and Tier 2 Advanced training phases facilitate developing the systems to support standard protocol, targeted interventions. Teams are trained on and pilot one Tier 2 intervention during the Tier 2 year. During Tier 2 Advanced phase, the team expands the use of the initial Tier 2 intervention, and develops and implements a second Tier 2 targeted intervention.

Tool Description

Tier 2 Readiness

There is 1 outcome for this session:

Determine your school’s readiness for Tier 2 Implementation using:
Tier 2 Readiness Checklist
Tier 2 Commitment Survey

Tier 2 Systems

There are 5 outcomes for session 1:

Identify key features of a SW-PBS Tier 2 system and characteristics of effective interventions to support students.
Determine Tier 2 readiness and plan to ensure Tier 1 remains fully in place. [This outcome could be optional – consultant may choose to omit entire section or to quickly review Readiness Criteria with teams if previously covered in training; PLEASE NOTE – slides 31-36 could be utilized as a review about Effective Classroom Practices] Develop a Tier 2 team with roles and responsibilities.
Develop an identification process for students demonstrating at-risk behaviors.
TFI (This outcome is covered in Session 2, but consultant may choose to do this in Session 1. Adjust Outcomes on training slides accordingly).

There are 5 outcomes for session 2:

Identify and select interventions that fit the needs and context of students and staff.
Develop a process for selecting function based interventions that match student need.
Develop an efficient and effective process for gathering and reviewing relevant student data.
Identify key fidelity and social validity measures to ensure generalization and maintenance of skills across settings.
Complete the Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI). – Adjust if this was covered in Session 1

Check-In Check-Out

There are 4 outcomes for session 1:

Identify five implementation components of CICO (pre-learning)
Describe students who are most likely to benefit from CICO (pre-learning)
Tell main findings of research associated with CICO (pre-learning)

There are 3 outcomes for session 2:

Interpret student response to CICO intervention and make decisions based on data.
Deliver implementation training according to audience needs (i.e., full staff, participating teachers, students, and families)

Social Skills Intervention Groups

There are 4 outcomes for session 1:

Tell main findings of research associated with use of a Social Skills Intervention Group.
Describe students who are most likely to benefit from a social skills intervention.
Identify implementation components of a Social Skills Intervention Group.
Design a Social Skills Intervention that is contextually relevant for your students and school but adheres to implementation of critical features.

There are 6 outcomes for session 2

Plan session format.
Determine how student data will be collected, graphed and progress monitored to make decisions for students who participate in a Social Skills Intervention Group.
Create a process for fading and graduating intervention supports.
Deliver implementation training according to audience needs (i.e., full staff, participating teachers, students, and families).
Develop system for on-going monitoring of SSIG implementation fidelity.
View other options for maintenance and generalization of social skills.

Check & Connect Supplemental These materials supplement the Check & Connect training materials provided by Check & Connect at the University of MinnesotaFirst Step Next

There are 4 outcomes for session 1:

Explain the need for early intervention.
Tell main findings of research associated with the FIRST STEP Next intervention.
Identify the implementation components of FIRST STEP Next.
Design and implement a FIRST STEP Next intervention that is contextually relevant.

There are 5 outcomes for Session 2:

Deliver implementation training according to audience needs (i.e., full staff, participating teachers, students, and families).
Determine how student data will be collected and graphed.
Monitor progress and make decisions for students who participate in a FIRST STEP Next Intervention.
Create a process for fading intervention supports and determine criteria for exiting the intervention.
Develop system for on-going monitoring of FIRST STEP Next implementation fidelity.

Self-Monitoring

There are 4 outcomes for this session:

Explain main findings of research associated with Self-Monitoring, describe students who are most likely to benefit from the Self-Monitoring intervention, and identify implementation components of Self-Monitoring.
Design and implement Self-Monitoring as a Tier 2 intervention that is contextually relevant for your students and school but adheres to implementation of critical features.
Develop system for on-going monitoring of Self-Monitoring implementation fidelity.
Adapt or modify Self-Monitoring as a fading procedure for other Tier 2 interventions (CICO, Social Skills Intervention Group, etc.), as well as a classroom support for all students.
