GUIDE TO TIER II AND TIER III INTERVENTION SUPPORTS AND ALTERNATIVES TO SUSPENSION
The Discipline Foundation Policy, School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (SWPBIS) is researched-based, highly effective approach to creating, teaching , and reinforcing students social, emotional, and academic learning skills that improve and sustain academic achievement as well as the mental and emotional well-being of all students. In order to support students in positive behavior, all schools are responsible to adopt, implement, and maintain Tier I supports in alignment with the Districts Discipline Foundation Policy. The most effective alternative to suspension is prevention. Tier I supports involve first and foremost building a sense of community and connection on the school campus, enabling all stakeholders (students, staff, parents/guardians, community members) to participate in the process of developing relational norms and expectations. Positive behavior is a product of the explicit teaching and reinforcement of these norms. Even with preventative measures in place, breaches of behavioral norms will occur.
TIER I
Universal
Teach and model school-wide positive behavior expectations and procedures. Positive reinforcement for all students. Consistent consequences for problem behaviors. Effective procedures and supervision in non-classroom areas. Effective instruction and classroom management. Collaboration with families Active supervision and monitoring
Tier II and III restorative practices are implemented to return individuals and the community to wholeness. Successful disciplinary practices should ensure that students have the opportunity to continue to be engaged in their school community and to reflect upon and learn from their mistakes. Tier II and Tier III interventions provide students with increasing support by offering students more time spent in behavioral intervention services and/or by offering intervention services that increase in intensity (e.g., one-on one counseling)
