"Hatching Tier 2 and 3 Interventions in Your Elementary School Counseling Program provides elementary school counselors with a hands-on guide to creating and implementing high-quality school counseling systems of support. Building on the content from TheUse of Data in School Counseling and aligning with the content in Hatching Results for Elementary School Counseling: Implementing Core Curriculum and Other Tier One Activities, this new text will focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 activities at the elementary level within a multi-tiered, multi-domain systems of supports (MTMDSS). Tier 2 systems of support focus on implementing targeted, data-driven interventions (small group counseling/instruction, referral to interventions on campus, etc.) and are designed for students who are identified by pre-scheduled and pre-determined data screening elements. These include attendance, behavior, work skills, and study habits (report card marks) and/or equity and access issues. Tier 2 includes short-term progress monitoring and collaboration among teachers, parents/guardians and the school counselor until improvement and/or referral to appropriate services can be found and implemented. Tier 2 activities are designed for students who are struggling to achieve academic successand/or are identified as deserving of instruction and/or supports in addition to Tier 1 curriculum activities (foster youth, dual language learners, etc.)"
