4 The District s Vision Merging of the two teams to become one Intervention Assistance Team One core team with subcommittees and subsubcommittees Not all subcommittees members will be on the core team More effective use and less overlap of resources Less duplication of services/resources Help with decision making regarding movement through the Tiers 4

Schools will identify students in Tier 3 using data sources (benchmark assessments, diagnostic i assessments, results of Tier 2 interventions). Schools will use intensive targeted skill instruction (small group or individual) for students in Tier 3 with researchbased curricula (PALS, Rewards, Stars, Extensions, and Bid Bridge of fvocabulary). Schools will progress monitor Tier 3 students using weekly/biweekly ORF/Maze assessments and other assessments used at Tiers 1 and 2.
