Tier I Interventions for Aggression/Bullying

Before you start, a few important points:

 

• Try multiple interventions
• Each intervention must be tried for at least 2 weeks
• Collect and track specific data on each intervention tried and the effect of each intervention over the time it was implemented
• After at least 6 weeks, you may consider moving to tier 2 interventions.  You must submit your tier 1 data to and speak with your building administrator before moving to tier 2 as well.
