Tier 3 provides intensive supports and interventions that may be delivered individually and provided in or outside of the classroom after the delivery of core instruction. There may be adaptations of supports and interventions based on an individual student’s performance using data that are reviewed during frequent progress monitoring intervals. TIER 3 Tier 2 provides supplemental supports and interventions that may be delivered in small-group instruction, provided in either the general classroom or during an intervention period. Interventions include evidence-based instructional practices and interventions that increase in intensity, frequency and duration based upon the review of data during regular progress monitoring intervals.

NEW JERSEYTIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORTS

The three tiers of supports and interventions are bolstered by effective school and district leadership committed to theimplementation of the system, a positive school culture and climate that is conducive for learning, and family and communityengagement in the development and implementation of the framework. Across all tiers, some students may require accommodationsthat provide access to instruction. These supports are not contingent upon a student’s level of instructional support but are necessaryto access content and achieve meaningful participation in the instruction.

NJTSS is a framework of academic and behavioralsupports and interventions to improve student achievement,based on the core components of multi-tiered systems ofsupports (MTSS) and the three-tier prevention logic of Responseto Intervention (RTI). With a foundation of strong district andschool leadership, a positive school culture and climate, andfamily and community engagement, NJTSS builds uponintervention and referral services (I&RS) and gives schools astructure to meet the academic, behavioral, health, enrichment,and social-emotional needs of all students.

The tiered framework was developed in collaboration withNew Jersey stakeholders, including educators andadministrators from districts implementing an RTI/MTSS model,higher education experts, and parents. Based on successfulmodels of RTI and MTSS from across the country, NJTSS givesschools and districts a systematic way to address learnervariability and engage all students in learning the New JerseyStudent Learning Standards.

NJTSS maximizes the efficient use of resources to improvesupport for all classroom teachers and targets interventions tostudents based on their needs. Through regular monitoring ofstudent progress, along with data-based decision making by

problem-solving teams and providing a continuum of supportsand interventions based on student performance, NJTSS offers avariety of evidence-based practices designed to improveachievement and promote positive student outcomes.

The tiered system involves the systematic development ofnine essential components in schools for the effectiveimplementation of the framework with fidelity andsustainability. Those components include:

1. Effective district and school leadership;2. Family and community engagement;3. Positive school culture and climate;4. High-quality learning environments, curricula, and

instructional practices;5. Universal screening;6. Data-based decision making;7. Collaborative problem-solving teams;8. Progress monitoring; and9. Staff professional development.
