Preparation Review the Intervention Brainstorm Slides. Familiarize yourself with the Intervention Strategy Bank Worksheet. Identify a specific 5th-grade student requiring Tier 3 support for focus. Materials Needed Intervention Brainstorm Slides Strategy Bank Worksheet Primary Objective Teachers will learn a structured approach to brainstorm and select individualized academic and behavioral interventions for a 5th-grade student requiring Tier 3 support. Facilitation Guide 3 MIN Introduction: What is Tier 3? Welcome teachers and set the stage using Slide 1. "Today we're focusing on Tier 3 interventions: highly individualized supports for students with significant needs. Our goal is to equip you with a structured way to brainstorm and select effective strategies." Prompt: "Think about a 5th-grade student you've worked with who might benefit from Tier 3 support. What challenges did they face?" 5 MIN Identify Area of Need Guide teachers to identify a specific need using Slide 2. "Is the primary need academic or behavioral? What exactly is the student struggling with? Be as specific as possible (e.g., 'difficulty with multi-step math problems' vs. 'bad at math')." Encourage teachers to write this down on their worksheet immediately. 7 MIN Brainstorming Strategies Introduce the Intervention Strategy Bank and use Slide 3. "Let's brainstorm solutions. Use the bank provided, but also think creatively. What actionable steps could we take using resources we already have?" Ask: "What strategies come to mind immediately? How could we adapt strategies from the bank for your specific student?" 5 MIN Selection and Planning Wrap up and set next steps using Slide 4. "Choose 1-2 strategies that seem most feasible and impactful. How will you measure success? What data will you collect?" Closing Question: "What is one specific strategy you've chosen, and how will you know if it's working?"
