LCSS Professional Learning: TIER III: A CLOSER LOOK

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 III provides intense support for identified areas of need. This training would be offered in specific instances, not to your whole faculty.

Some examples include, but are not limited to:

· Classroom Management Techniques
· Training for staff on a PDP
· TKES/LKES training for Academic Coaches
· Data Analysis for Administrators
