In any given classroom, you will find students with a variety of learning needs, abilities, cultures, and experiences that affect how they learn and behave in the classroom. When students are attentive, focused, and engaged, they are more likely to understand and process information from lessons and learning activities. Positive behavior in the classroom often leads to academic success. How can you encourage your students to be attentive and engaged in the classroom? One way that effective teachers do this is by applying multi-tiered systems of supports (MTSS).
In the course, you learned about MTSS and strategies for implementing multi-tiered interventions to help all students learn and avoid exclusionary discipline and engage appropriately in classroom activities. In this task, you will apply what you learned in the course about appropriate learning interventions and positive behavioral interventions at each tier.
