Strategies and techniques for the first tier - primary prevention - would be to
intervene early, monitor student progress to inform interventionists, using
data to make decisions, and using assessment to compare monthly office referrals, time of day, location, and behavior assessments, and progress monitoring. Teaching the appropriate behavioral actions is important so that students know what is expected, and modeling the expected behaviors. This tier is for all students. Tier two is secondary prevention which is designed to support some students. Strategies and techniques for the second tier could be checking, connecting, and expecting, mentoring, coaching, daily progress reports, social skills club, and ticket systems used for incentives. The final tier is tertiary prevention; this tier is support for a few students. Strategies for this tier would be functional behavioral assessments, functional analysis, behavior intervention plans, wraparound programs, and alternatives to suspension.
