LE3-4 - Tiered Approach

Some examples to illustrate what tiers 1 - 3 might look like: 

Tier 3: Student has a Specialized Equipment Amount (SEA) Claim for a personal computer. 
This is tier 3 because it includes special education support that includes the in-school support team. If a child has SEA equipment, it must be documented in an IEP, which is part of tier 3.

Tier 2: Student is part of a Guided Reading program in the classroom.
Extra support for specific skills development, which takes place within the classroom environment, falls under tier 2.

Tier 3: Student is in a special class placement.
A child who has a special class placement is receiving support at tier 3. This placement would be supported by the in-school support team and comes as a result of an IPRC identification that is documented on an IEP. 

Tier 1: Student is provided with an assortment of materials/resources to demonstrate learning.
Varying methods of presenting materials and choices for demonstrate learning are related to UDL and DI, which are part of planning within the mainstream classroom at tier 1.
