What is Tier 1?

Tier 1 systems serve as the foundation upon which all other tiers are built. With school-wide systems in place, schools can ensure students and staff are thriving and quickly identify which students need additional support.

Systems, data and practices put in place support everyone to achieve desired outcomes.

Tier 1 systems, data, and practices support everyone across all settings. They establish the foundation for delivering regular, proactive support and preventing unwanted behaviors. Tier 1 emphasizes modeling, teaching, and acknowledging positive social, emotional, and behavioral (SEB) sills. Teams, data, consistent policies, professional development, and evaluation are essential components for these practices to work effectively.
