Tier Two

   During Tier 2 educators have to do the following: "identify the student’s current performance level," create learning goals," "implement evidence-based interventions", "monitor the student’s academic performance regularly," and "determine if the interventions were successful and make adjustments if necessary" (NWEA). Students here where placed because they did not show enough progress when in the first tier. Academic goals are supposed to made so that they can easy be measured and reviewed.
   This tier's time lenght "should generally not exceed a grading period" (RTI Action Network). At this point parents/guardians should have already been contacted and notified about their children's involvement with the RTI process.  If the student(s) do not show sufficient improvement they are then moved into the third tier.
