This resource is referenced and utilized in the Collaborative Response Model. It is widely used across Holy Spirit School Division, and offers and great way to organize and categorize resources and strategies. It is implemented with the desire for collective efficacy: to work towards a goal or outcome collaboratively/ as a team. During a PD session in my PSIII internship, we were led through an exercise to organize our school's resources on literacy, as this was the first area our school wanted to work on. Our principal stressed the importance of doing one focus at a time: literacy, numeracy, and then socio-emotional. This was a great exercise as we learned how to group the current resources and strategies used at our school. To do this, we needed a thorough understanding of each of the four tiers. I took the following notes on what each tier looks like:
Tier 1 is universal -it is part of your good teaching practice, and is the things you do as a teacher within your classroom. Tier 2 is the interventions carried out by the teacher, still within the classroom, such as a reward system with a specific student. Tier 3 is the interventions delivered by other professionals, still delivered in the classroom (ideally). Tier 4: My principal stressed that tier four is diagnostic, such as academic testing by a psychologist. Once a diagnosis, referral or IPP has been made, the interventions you make might fit back into tier 2/4, as you aim to find inclusive and classroom-based methods to support your student.
