At Kingsway, we use a multi-tiered system of supports to meet the needs of all learners. 

TIER 1: Proactive interventions and supports fall under Tier 1 and are generally effective for 80-90% of the total student population. Quality curriculum and programs such as mindfulness (Educate 2B), that the entire student body has access to, are examples of Tier 1 supports. Prevention also falls within Tier 1. Universal Screening for social, emotional, and behavioral wellness is one preventative measure that the district can utilize to both effectively capture the needs of the entire student body and plan accordingly for interventions and supports. 

• Universal Screening (Behavioral & Emotional Screening System)
• Universal Screener Example Items
• Mindfulness (Zensational Kids, Educate 2B Program)

TIER 2: Some students, typically 5-10% of the student population who are found “at-risk,” benefit from targeted or small group interventions. 

•  Evolution Labs Suite 360 (Social & Emotional Learning)

TIER 3: Still others, roughly 1-5% of the student population, will require more individualized and intensive interventions at Tier 3. At Kingsway, students in Tier 3 are case managed by the Intervention & Referral Services Team. This team creates and monitors an individualized student intervention plan. Others at Tier 3 might be supported by the Student Assistance Coordinator (SAC). This individual can facilitate school-based counseling services and, if fitting, provide referrals to community agencies. Post intervention activities, such as the development of re-entry plans and student assistance plans, helps to ensure that students remain supported for an extended period.
