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.


TIER II AND YOU

Tier II is where you will add customized and differentiated professional learning for your faculty based upon the data analysis that you have conducted.  There may also be some more strategic professional learning planned at the system level and offered to your teachers who qualify.

Some examples include, but are not limited to:
  • ·      Open Court Phonics (K-2)
  • ·      Moving Technology to the Hands of Students (K-8)
  • ·      Taking Thinking Maps Further (3-12)
  • ·      Mentoring for Entry Level Teachers (K-12)
  • ·      Effective Co-Teaching Strategies (K-12)
  • ·      PBIS for New Staff (K-12)
  • ·      Administering DIBELS (K-5)
  • ·      Utilizing NZMath (K-12)
  • ·      Best practices in mathematics instruction
  • ·      Reading in the content areas (3-8)
  • ·      Vertical Conversations: PreK-K, 5-6, 8-9
You will identify areas that are specific to your school.  Once the individual CSIP are on file at the county office, they will be examined for commonalities and a countywide menu of Professional Learning offerings will be generated.  Courses will be a combination of Classroom-Based, Online, or a Blended Model.
