While Tier 1 instruction is the foundation of a successful Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), it is also the element we most often overlook. On this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Sarah Brown, Ph.D., consultant and co-author of Effective Universal Instruction: An Action-Oriented Approach to Improving Tier 1, joins host Susan Lambert, Ed.D., to explore why this is and what it takes to give Tier 1 the attention it deserves. Together, Sarah and Susan also discuss common misconceptions about Tier 1; why a strong Tier 1 directly determines how targeted and intensive your interventions can be; and how to use data to assess whether your Tier 1 is truly working.
"Our labels don't define our students' skills and abilities. The quality and intensity of our instruction is really what matters." —Sarah Brown
"We are running ourselves ragged trying to provide intervention for too many students." —Sarah Brown
"Tier 1 instruction really deserves the same love and attention as your interventions and other tiers." —Sarah Brown
"MTSS is a framework, not a roadmap, which means it doesn't look the same in every school." —Sarah Brown
