WHAT IS A TIERED MODEL?

WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY? WHAT IS A TIERED MODEL?


Good professional learning doesn't just happen. It takes planning, prioritizing, job embedded training, and on-going support. This blog is intended to help school teams streamline the process. Let's start with the Tiered Model.


“Continuous school improvement depends on high-quality professional learning that focuses on research-based strategies. Professional learning is the primary means that schools and systems utilize to strengthen the development and performance of educators at all levels in order to improve student learning and achievement.” DOE Website


The Tiered Model will be familiar to you if you have worked with RtI and the Pyramid of Intervention. Professional Learning fits into the same tiered progression.


Tier I is what you provide for everyone. Tier I starts at the system level. These are things that all LCSS educators will be offered.


Tier II is differentiated support. Tier II is not for everyone and is based on your data analysis. Tier II may be offered through the system or specifically at your school.


Tier III is intense, specific support for areas of critical need. Tier III support could happen at the system level, but will surely happen at the school level.


In order to make data-driven decisions about professional learning, it is important to understand the research and the process.


The blog pages below will allow you to learn more about this research-based format.

PLANNING FOR EXCELLENCE



Good professional learning does take time to plan.  This is an electronic copy of your Handbook.  It is intended to be a "one stop shopping" clearinghouse for things you need to get started with your school team making data-based decisions. The goal if for you to have a plan in place that provides targeted, rigorous, and relevant training to your staff.  

 Base your decisions on identified need.  The number one thing teachers in Liberty County identify as a hinderance is "TIME".  

 Let's not waste anyone's!  Involve your teachers and parents in the decision-making process.  Look at your data together.  Drill down into the data to discover the root cause of problems you're discovering.  Your handbook, and this electronic copy of your handbook, will provide you the tools you need.
