Tier I Basics
This is one of the three required criteria for a Tier I support that means it must be connected to a school-wide priority.
What is goal alignment?
This is what each occurrence of a Tier I support is called in CISDM.
What is a session?
This is the average number of students who are physically present in school each day.
What is Average Daily Attendance (ADA)?
A school-wide assembly to encourage attendance at an attendance-focused school is an example of this type of support (Tier I, II, or III).
What is a Tier I support?
This type of time should not be included in Tier I support hours.
What is planning time?
This describes Tier I supports being available to all students or designed to impact a large portion of the school.
What is widely available?
This documentation area should be used for planning time instead of Tier I supports.
What is Site Coordination?
This is a way of reaching students that is a real-time, live event where a group is together in person or online (like assemblies, school resource fairs, or classroom presentations)
What is direct reach?
Daily informal morning greetings without structure or measurable goals should be documented as this.
What is Site Coordination?
This documentation practice prevents overinflating the number of Tier I supports.
What is using sessions instead of creating new Tier I supports?
This is the third required criterion that ensures a Tier I support can be counted.
What is measurable reach?
This feature is updated to show how long a Tier I support has been offered.
What is the Date Range?
This is a way of reaching students by sharing information or tools meant to spread through the school over time (like fliers sent home in backpacks, newsletters, or hallway bulletin boards)
What is indirect reach?
A school-wide event that is not aligned with a school-wide goal should be documented as this.
What is Site Coordination?
This measurement method helps prevent overreporting participants at live events.
What is ADA (or actual headcount)?
This percentage of the student population should be reached by the combination of Tier I supports during the school year.
What is 75%?
This is the minimum number of Tier I Support entries each school should document each year.
What is four?
This should be used to track reach instead of ADA when you have an accurate sign-in sheet.
What is an actual headcount?
An attendance event for only 8th graders can still be this if it supports the school's attendance goal (Tier I, II, or III).
What is a Tier I support?
This section is the best place to record details about multiple sessions within the same Tier I support.
What are Support Notes?
This document guides all Tier I supports throughout the school year.
What is the Annual School Support Plan?
This is where case-managed students should also be tagged when they experience a Tier I support.
What is the Tier I Support entry?
This method of calculating reach uses school enrollment multiplied by Average Daily Attendance.
What is a smart estimate?
An attendance incentive program that continues all year should be documented as this rather than creating new Tier I supports each month.
What is one Tier I Support with multiple sessions?
This common documentation error occurs when the same students are counted repeatedly across multiple sessions.
What is duplicate student reporting?
