Correct answer: Identifying and monitoring students receiving targeted interventions
The Tier 2 team's primary role is to identify students who need targeted support, assign appropriate interventions, and monitor student progress using behavior data.
Question 2: A student on CICO is consistently meeting their daily point goal (80%+) for six weeks. What is the recommended next step?
- Increase the student's daily point goal to 90%
- Consider fading or stepping down from CICO to Tier 1 supports (Correct answer)
- Move the student directly to Tier 3

Correct answer: Consider fading or stepping down from CICO to Tier 1 supports
When a student consistently meets their DPR goal for several weeks, the team should plan a systematic fade of CICO supports and transition the student back to Tier 1 universal supports.
Question 3: Which data source is most directly used to determine a student's eligibility for Tier 2 PBIS interventions?
- State standardized test scores
- Universal screening tools and office discipline referral data (Correct answer)

Universal screening data combined with ODR data are the primary sources used to identify students who are at risk and may benefit from Tier 2 targeted interventions.
