Each school has a Student Assistance Program (SAP) and Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) teams. The primary
goal of the teams is to help students overcome barriers to learning in order that they may achieve, remain in school,
and advance. These teams consist of teachers, guidance counselors, reading specialists, interventionists, school
psychologists, and principals.
Team members meet regularly to discuss students’ data, progress, and possible interventions. Depending on
students’ needs, interventions may vary by type, intensity, or frequency. For example, a Tier II intervention may
include small group reading support facilitated by a reading specialist, but a Tier III intervention may include
participation in additional interventions or programs such as SpellRead, the Sonday System, or Wilson Reading.
