The Why
Tier 2 small‐group interventions target students needing extra support. Using positive reinforcement and structured routines fosters compliance, reduces disruptions, and builds engagement, enhancing educator effectiveness and student success.
Audience
Educators and support staff (Tier 2 intervention teams)
Approach
Interactive workshop with modeling, practice, and plan development.
Learning Objectives
Equip educators and support staff with evidence-based strategies—such as positive reinforcement and structured routines—to increase compliance in small‐group Tier 2 interventions. Participants will practice these techniques and develop actionable classroom plans.

Introduction & Objectives
Welcome participants and outline the session purpose.
Review the session objectives displayed on a flip chart.
Invite participants to share experiences with compliance challenges.
Clarify expectations and session structure.
20 min
Evidence-Based Strategies Overview
Distribute Compliance Strategies Handout .
Present an overview of positive reinforcement techniques.
Explain structured routines and visual schedules.
Highlight research supporting Tier 2 small‐group interventions.
Encourage participants to annotate the handout.
15 min
Modeling & Video Analysis
Play Video Example Clip showcasing positive reinforcement.
Ask participants to take notes on strategies observed.
Pair up participants to discuss observations for 3 minutes.
Facilitate a whole-group debrief, recording insights on flip chart.
20 min
Small-Group Practice (Role-Play)
Organize participants into triads: teacher, student role, observer.
Distribute Role-Play Scenario Cards and Behavior Tracking Sheet .
In each triad, role-play scenario focusing on prompting compliance.
Observers use tracking sheet to note effective prompts and reinforcements.
Rotate roles so each participant practices and observes.
15 min
Action Plan Development
Provide Action Plan Template .
Instruct participants to draft an action plan for implementing strategies.
Encourage detailing context, targeted behaviors, steps, and timeline.
Circulate to answer questions and provide guidance.
10 min
Share & Wrap-Up
Share & Feedback (5m): Invite 2–3 volunteers to share action plans; facilitate peer feedback.Wrap-Up & Assessment (5m): Exit ticket: write one strategy to implement and how to measure success. Compliance Champions Slide Deck Professional Development

Why Focus on Tier 2 Compliance?
Targets students requiring additional support
Reduces classroom disruptions
Builds student engagement and confidence
Enhances overall effectiveness of Tier 2 teams
"Small group interventions bridge the gap between whole-class instruction and intensive individual support."
Strategy #1: Positive Reinforcement
The Key Elements
• Specific, timely praise for behavior
• Token systems or point charts
• Reinforce successive approximations
• Behavior-specific feedback
Pro Tip
Praise should be descriptive. Instead of "Good job," try:
See details in the Compliance Strategies Handout
Strategy #2: Structured Routines
Visual Supports
Schedules, timers, and icons to guide activity.
Transition Cues
Predictable signals before switching tasks.
Student Roles
Assign simple jobs to increase autonomy.
Predictability reduces anxiety and fosters compliance.

1. Positive Reinforcement Techniques
Specific, Timely Praise
Give descriptive feedback immediately after the desired behavior occurs.
Token Economy Systems
Award tokens or points that can be exchanged for preferred items or privileges.
Behavior-Specific Feedback
Clearly state which behavior earned reinforcement (e.g., "I like how you raised your hand quietly.").
Reinforce Successive Approximations
Reward small steps toward a larger goal to build compliance gradually.
Your notes on positive reinforcement
2. Structured Routines
Visual Schedules
Use pictures, icons, or written lists to outline the sequence of activities.
Transition Cues
Implement auditory (timer), visual (countdown cards), or verbal signals before switching tasks.
Consistent Routines
Follow the same pattern each day to create predictability and reduce anxiety.
Student Roles & Jobs
Assign simple responsibilities (e.g., line leader) to increase engagement and ownership.

Role-Play Scenario Cards Role-Play Scenario Cards
Practice techniques for prompting compliance in Tier 2 small groups.
Instructions: Cut these cards along the dashed lines. In triads, one participant acts as the teacher, one as the student, and one as the observer with the Behavior Tracking Sheet.
CARD 1
Refusal to Begin Work
Scenario: Start of a math activity. Teacher: "Please open your workbook to page 12." Student sits silently with arms crossed.
Desired Behavior
Opens workbook and looks at page.
CARD 2
Off-Task Chatting
Scenario: Group discussion. Teacher: "Share one strategy." Student continues whispering to a neighbor.
Desired Behavior
Stops chatting, listens, and contributes.
CARD 3
Incomplete Directions
Scenario: Two-step direction: "Line up, then quietly walk to the corner." Student lines up but runs ahead disrupting others.
Desired Behavior
Lines up and transitions quietly.
CARD 4
Task Avoidance / Questions
Scenario: Writing prompt. Student repeatedly asks, "What do I write?" and "Can I go to the bathroom?" to avoid starting.
Desired Behavior
Begins writing on topic without stalling.
CARD 5
Slow Compliance
Scenario: Teacher: "Put away your markers." Student reluctantly begins, but puts away one marker every 30 seconds.
Desired Behavior
Puts all markers away promptly.
CARD 6
Emotional Outburst
Scenario: After correction, student crumples paper, raises voice: "I hate this!"
Desired Behavior
Takes a new sheet and calmly corrects work.
