Understanding How Tiered Intervention Platforms Improve Academics

How do tiered intervention programs improve students literacy and numeracy?

About the Research

MNPS uses a framework called Multi-Tiered System of Support to identify students who may be struggling and offer assistance to aid academic growth, and social and emotional growth. 

Our study examines how this tiered intervention program supports student improvement in math and literacy. Specifically, we explore how much skill and knowledge growth students assigned to each intervention experience compared to national norms, whether skill and knowledge growth are similar for the four literacy interventions, and the types of schools that are experiencing the most student growth while using these interventions.
