At Pegram Elementary School, the first round of Tier 2 instruction has ended for four second-grade students who were not responding adequately to the reading instruction in the general education classroom. The second grade school support team is ready to meet to evaluate the progress of these students and to determine each student’s instructional needs. They begin by evaluating Shaunika’s Tier 2 progress monitoring data. The team will use the dual-discrepancy approach to determine how Shaunika has responded to Tier 2 instruction and to decide what tier of instruction would best meet her current instructional needs. The criteria the team are using to

determine whether a student is responding adequately to instruction is a performance level of 45 wpm and a rate of growth of 1.8.
