Tiered Intervention Search Engine (TISE) The tiered interventions in this search engine include resources and legal mandates for all public schools students, as well as students who may need Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS) and/or special education and related services. Classroom teachers utilizing a three tiered approach to teaching and learning - whole class, small group and individual instruction - will find resources and interventions to assist him/her in this daunting task. Schools/districts will also find suggested resources and interventions to address the needs of all students (Tier 1), targeted groups of students with particularized needs (Tier 2) and individual students with individualized needs (Tier 3).
