To ensure a comprehensive Tier 3 review, which activity should the team perform?

• A. Disciplinary hearings
• B. Teach all classes
• C. Write curriculum standards
• D. Review student files, suggest interventions, review progress data

Answer: (D)

Tier 3 review centers on using individual data to tailor highly intensive supports for students who haven’t responded to earlier levels of intervention. In this process, the team examines the student’s files, the history of interventions tried, and progress-monitoring data to determine whether the current plan is effective, what new or different interventions are needed, and how goals and timing should be adjusted. This data-based decision making ensures the student receives the right level of support and that progress is tracked to guide next steps. Disciplinary hearings address behavior consequences rather than reviewing intervention plans; teaching all classes is a broad instructional activity not specific to one student’s Tier 3 needs; and writing curriculum standards relates to content expectations, not the review of an individual student’s interventions and progress.
