  • Academic Interventions Tier#3

    Posted by Rheanna Dowdell on March 27, 2026 at 4:21 pm

    For Academic Intervention Tier 3, I learned that this level is for the most at-risk students, making up about 5%, and requires very intentional, intensive support. Instruction is typically in very small groups of 1-3 students max, with a strong focus on building trust, using data, and being purposeful with every lesson. I also learned how important it is to create a quiet, low-distraction environment while still allowing movement and keeping lessons engaging so students stay motivated. Building rapport in the first 5-10 days is key, along with using what students already know to boost confidence. Overall, Tier 3 is about constant reflection, progress monitoring, and adjusting instruction to help accelerate student growth.

    Key takeaways:

    • Work with 1-3 students max and provide intensive, direct support
    • Progress monitor weekly and take daily notes to track growth
    • Spend the first 5-10 days building rapport and trust
    • Use data to identify patterns and guide instruction
    • Follow a structured lesson: -review, practice, apply, reflect
    • Create a quiet, low distraction space, but allow movement when needed
    • Build confidence by focusing on what students can do
    • Involve parents and mentors to support student success
    • Continuously reflect and adjust instruction to accelerate learning
