MTSS Myth Busting: The Truth About Tier 1

Thursday, January 11, 2024

Join us for this enlightening presentation featuring our literacy expert who will do some myth busting about Tier 1 instruction. Learn the truth (and the research behind it) as we explore important facts related to Tier 1.

Do you know if these statements are myths or facts?

  1. Tier 1 instruction should be done only in a whole group format
  2. Classroom teachers are the only staff who can deliver Tier 1 instruction
  3. Students who score at benchmark on screening should receive Tier 1 instruction
  4. Students should come out of Tier 1 to get their Tier 2 intervention
  5. Eighty percent of students should reach benchmark goals with Tier 1 instruction only, no intervention

This session will shed light on common myths and provide actionable alternatives to common MTSS implementation mistakes and misunderstandings. By framing Tier 1 instruction as risk reduction, participants will learn how to improve reading outcomes for all students.

Dr. Stephanie Stollar will share:

  1. Definitions of each tier of instruction in the MTSS model
  2. Characteristics of effective Tier 1 instruction
  3. Strategies for aligning Tier 1 instruction to universal screening data
  4. Alternatives to common myths about Tier 1 instruction
