This document outlines a three-tiered system of science instruction and intervention for freshman students. Tier I focuses on core instruction for all students through strategies like pre/post assessments, project-based learning, and literacy activities. Tier II provides strategic supplemental instruction for students through tutoring, online interventions, and mandatory after-school programs. Tier III involves intensive interventions like weekly personalized instruction for struggling students and mandatory after-school classes for students failing classes. The goals are to identify student needs, provide targeted support, and ensure all students succeed in their freshman science courses.
