PBIS PBIS Tier 2 Targeted Interventions 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Tier 2 intervention involves a student checking in with a trusted adult at the start of the day and checking out at the end to review behavior goals?
- Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) (Correct answer)
- Social Skills Training
- Functional Behavior Assessment
- Positive Behavior Support Plan
Correct answer: Check-In/Check-Out (CICO)
Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) is a structured Tier 2 intervention where students meet briefly with an adult mentor at the beginning and end of each school day to monitor and reinforce behavior goals.
Question 2: What is the primary purpose of a Daily Progress Report (DPR) used in CICO?
- To document student academic grades
- To track and communicate student behavior across settings throughout the day (Correct answer)
- To record office discipline referrals
- To schedule parent-teacher conferences
Correct answer: To track and communicate student behavior across settings throughout the day
The Daily Progress Report (DPR) is used in CICO to provide consistent feedback on student behavior across classrooms and settings, creating a communication tool between school and home.
Question 3: At what percentage of students in a school is Tier 2 intervention typically designed to serve?
- 1–5%
- 5–10%
- 10–15% (Correct answer)
- 20–30%
Correct answer: 10–15%
Tier 2 targeted interventions are designed to support approximately 10–15% of students who do not respond to Tier 1 universal supports alone.
Question 4: Which of the following is a key criterion for identifying students who need Tier 2 supports?
- A student has a diagnosed learning disability
- A student has received 2–5 office discipline referrals (Correct answer)
- A student fails all core academic subjects
- A student has an IEP or 504 plan
Correct answer: A student has received 2–5 office discipline referrals
Schools typically use 2–5 office discipline referrals as a data-based threshold to identify students who may benefit from Tier 2 targeted interventions.
Question 5: Small-group social skills instruction at Tier 2 is most effective when it is:
- Conducted once a semester in a large classroom
- Delivered using evidence-based curricula with opportunities for practice and feedback (Correct answer)
- Limited to students with IEPs
- Focused exclusively on academic content
Correct answer: Delivered using evidence-based curricula with opportunities for practice and feedback
Effective Tier 2 social skills groups use evidence-based curricula and provide repeated practice opportunities with corrective feedback to help students generalize skills across settings.
Question 6: When monitoring Tier 2 intervention effectiveness, teams should review student DPR data at minimum:
- Once per year
- Every 4–6 weeks (Correct answer)
- Only when a new referral is submitted
- At the end of each grading period
Correct answer: Every 4–6 weeks
PBIS best practice recommends that Tier 2 teams review DPR and behavior data at least every 4–6 weeks to determine whether students are responding, need adjustments, or are ready to step down or up in support.
