At Tier 3, school efforts are focused on the needs of individual students that require significant supports due to academic, social, or behavioral challenges. Tier 3 represents 1-5% of the school population. 

Tier 3 practices begin with solid tier 1 and 2 foundations. 

Functional Behavior Assessments:

FBA's allow for a school site team to determine the function of a students behavior, as well as determine appropriate interventions to support the students individual needs. The formal FBA process will allow for the following strategies:

• Preventing unwanted behavior
• Teaching appropriate behavior
• Positively reinforcing appropriate behavior
• Reducing rewards for unwanted behavior
• Ensuring student safety

Wraparound Services:

Wraparound supports involve working with students and the adults invested in their success to identify how a student’s natural support systems, strengths, and needs can work together to improve their outcomes. In WCSD, the use of district intervention assistance team is utilized to determine what support a student might need that community members can offer.
