What kind of interventions are primarily focused on for students showing no/little response in Tier 3?

The focus of interventions for students showing no or little response in Tier 3 is on highly intensive interventions. Tier 3 is the most targeted level of intervention within a multi-tiered system of support, designed for students who have not made adequate progress through Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions. These interventions are tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual student, often involving more individualized and specialized curricula.

Highly intensive interventions are characterized by their frequency and duration, providing increased instructional time that can be personalized based on ongoing assessment data. This level of intervention might include one-on-one instruction, small group settings with a specific focus on critical areas of need, or specialized teaching strategies to address particular learning deficits. The goal is to significantly accelerate the student's learning and ensure that they can make progress in their academic and behavioral goals.

The other types of options provided do not represent the primary focus for Tier 3 interventions. Generalized academic support tends to be less targeted and is typically implemented at Tier 1 or Tier 2 levels. Social skill enhancement, while important, is a different area of focus and not the main priority for students who are struggling academically and require immediate and intensive academic support. Lastly, standardized assessments are primarily used for evaluation purposes rather than as
