What are MTSS Tier II Interventions

Secondary interventions are programs or strategies delivered at the individual or small-group levels to address the needs of students who do not respond to primary prevention at the school-wide or classroom levels (Hawken, Adolphson, MacLeod, & Schumann, 2009).

Tier Levels

Student engagement increases when SEL complements MTSS, increasing students’ sense of belonging and inclusion.

  • All students and adults thrive in a safe, just, and supportive school climate.
  • SEL is foundational to academics and behavior.
  • All students have equitable access to a tiered system of supports with SEL at the center.
  • Social and emotional skills are intentionally fostered using evidence-based, culturally relevant, equity-focused, and developmentally appropriate practices supported by SEL learning standards.
  • Youth voice and engagement support the development of student identity, agency, and belonging.
  • Adult SEL is intentionally supported to ensure student SEL is fostered.
  • Families, caregivers, and communities are critical partners in building equitable systems that support students’ academic, social, and emotional development.
  • Supportive discipline policies and practices are instructive, restorative, developmentally appropriate, and equitably applied.

What Educators And Leaders Are Saying

From our School Partners

The monthly leadership sessions have been instrumental in successfully implementing bt3 this year. Each session allows us to reflect on our implementation and seek feedback and suggestions from the bt3 team. Their support and encouragement have helped us stay the course and effectively make adjustments when we needed to.

High School Teacher

The continuous improvement cycle work (coaching sessions) is very meaningful because it keeps the momentum of implementation going."

Elementary Teacher

It’s fluid and allows for autonomy. You can use lessons to support what you are teaching in another subject. It is very, very versatile."

Elementary Teacher

Using the bt3 lessons provides a consistency for kids so they are willing to engage and grow, but also they feel ready to try something new."

Middle School Teacher

BT3 has given me as a leader and also my teachers a structure and framework to use, yet it is so flexible enough that teachers can tailor to their own class. It is so supportive for teachers who are feeling overwhelmed."

Principal

The coaches are supportive and willing to meet us exactly where we are. I appreciate that they understand the classroom and the challenges we are facing."

High School Teacher

Kids are showing up so differently after just a month of using the lessons. Our classroom has become a trusting community where everyone feels valued and accepted."
