Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

Which of the following is an example of a Tier 2 intervention?

1. Whole-class lesson presentation

2. Daily check-in/check-out system

3. Referrals to outside counseling

4. Grade-level meetings on school rules

The correct answer is: Daily check-in/check-out system

A This option refers to a whole-class approach which is not considered a Tier 2 intervention as it does not target specific individuals or small groups. C: Referrals to outside counseling is a Tier 3 intervention which is typically used for students with more severe or persistent issues. D: Grade-level meetings on school rules fall under the category of Tier 1 interventions which are preventative strategies for all students. Option B, a daily check-in/check-out system, is a Tier 2 intervention. This type of intervention is used for students who are at risk for academic or behavioral issues. It involves daily check-ins with a teacher or staff member, as well as goal setting and feedback to monitor progress and provide support. Unlike Tier 1 interventions, which are universal strategies for all students, and Tier 3 interventions, which are more intensive and individualized interventions, Tier 2 interventions are targeted at specific students who may need additional support and intervention to succeed. Therefore, option B is the best example of a Tier 2 intervention.
