In this episode of 'Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.', hosts Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore dive into the often-overlooked middle ground of Tier 2 interventions. These strategies aim to support students who need more than universal interventions but aren't yet in need of intensive, individualized help.
The trio brings their combined decades of experience in education and mental health to the table, sharing real-life stories and practical advice that can benefit educators, parents, and anyone interested in student well-being. They discuss common pitfalls that can make these interventions ineffective and emphasize the critical role of 'how' over 'what' in implementing them.
