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?
- Tier 1 instruction should be done only in a whole group format
- Classroom teachers are the only staff who can deliver Tier 1 instruction
- Students who score at benchmark on screening should receive Tier 1 instruction
- Students should come out of Tier 1 to get their Tier 2 intervention
- 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:
- Definitions of each tier of instruction in the MTSS model
