After receiving Tier 2 interventions for seven weeks, what will the support team most likely recommend based on the child's progress monitoring data?

The recommendation to continue Tier 2 interventions after seven weeks of progress monitoring is based on the child's demonstrated growth and responsiveness to these interventions. Tier 2 interventions are designed for students who require additional support beyond what is provided in Tier 1, and they typically involve more targeted strategies or increased frequency of instruction.

If the data indicates that the child is making progress, it suggests that the Tier 2 interventions are having a positive impact, albeit not sufficiently to warrant a move to Tier 1 or a complete withdrawal of additional support. In this scenario, continuing Tier 2 would allow the educators to provide ongoing assistance that may eventually lead to the child reaching the necessary benchmarks for Tier 1 placement.

If, on the other hand, progress monitoring data showed little to no improvement, the support team would likely consider moving the child to Tier 3 for more intensive interventions. However, the recommendation here emphasizes that the combination of continued monitoring and supportat the Tier 2 level is appropriate given the child's circumstances. Providing additional time within Tier 2 before making further decisions is a key aspect of responsive instructional practices.
