English Learners
Tier
Tier 1: Core Instruction, Universal Support • Evidence-based practices are used to support all students’ academic, behavioral, and social-emotional success. • The most equitable, inclusive, and integrated learning environment is established. • For English learners, instruction includes integrated and designated ELD . • Comprehensive assessment (including screening, formative, progress monitoring, benchmark) informs instruction for all students. • About 100 percent of students receive Tier 1 support. Tier II: Targeted, Supplemental Supports • Additional evidence-based support is for some students needing more academic, behavioral, and social-emotional help. • Specific skills are targeted and based on assessment results showing that students need more than core instruction. • For English learners, all interventions include integrated ELD. • Progress monitoring occurs more frequently than in core instruction to ensure the interventions are working. • If more than 15 percent of students are involved, engage in Tier I level systematic problem solving to improve services. Targeted and intensive academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support is for a small number of students who need it. • Support is individualized to meet specific needs, based on assessments. • Progress monitoring occurs more frequently than in Tier I and Tier II to ensure maximum acceleration of student progress. • For English learners, all interventions include integrated ELD. • If more than 5 percent of students are involved, engage in Tier I and Tier II level systematic problem solving to improve services. Tier III: Intensive, Individualized Supports • Overarching Guiding Principle Universal design for learning (UDL) principles are used beginning in the planning stage and throughout all three tiers.

Universal Design for Learning Full access to high quality curriculum and state standards through the UDL application ensures that ELs maintain steady academic and linguistic progress across the disciplines based on individual ELs’ language and learning needs (ELA/ELD Framework, 2017).
