Additional Tier 2 Classes

The Utah State Office of Education has designed a 3 Tier Model for Reading Instruction. 

Tier 1 consists of the core classroom instruction all students receive. 

Tier 2 provides supplemental targeted instruction that addresses the specific needs of individual students.  Tier 2 interventions are targeted, scientifically based and aligned with the state core curriculum.  It may be thought of as double dosing.  For students who have mastered specific skills, Tier 2 may be accelerated or supplemental learning.  All Westridge teachers are involved in Tier 2 teaching.

Tier 3 provides intensive, targeted intervention to the most at-risk readers.

The complete description of the model can be found on the USOE website:

Westridge follows a similar model with Mathematics instruction.  Additional information on Elementary Mathematics instruction can be found on the USOE website:
