Build proactive behavior systems that support every student - from universal practices to targeted and individualized interventions.
Students don't all need the same level of support. Some thrive with strong universal systems. Others need targeted interventions to stay on track. A small percentage require intensive, individualized plans.
The multi-tier Framework brings it all together so teachers, campuses, and districts use the same language, follow the same process, and build systems that last.
The Multi-Tiered Framework
Each tier serves a distinct purpose, but together they create a unified structure for teaching behavior and building school culture.
Build the foundation with clear expectations, explicit instruction, and consistent practices across all classrooms.
Intervene early with small-group lessons, Check-In/Check-Out systems, and progress monitoring that keep students on track.
Provide individualized, function-based interventions, and frequent data review for students with the most significant needs.
Implementation Process
Frameworks only work if they're implemented with fidelity. Emergent Tree's phased process ensures every tier is launched strategically and sustained over time.
Developing the structure, practice, and processes necessary for effective framework implementation.
Test and refine key framework practices on a small scale before full rollout.
Expand implantation to larger groups across the organization.
Maintaining and embedding effective practices to ensure long-term fidelity.
Create a framework that aligns Tier 1, 2, and 3 across your district. Move from fragmented interventions to a sustainable, systemic approach.
