Overview
Move This World Tier 2 courses provide targeted support for students with more individualized needs. The Tier 2 Intervention and Supports program is designed for small groups of students who need additional support with self-management, social skills, and decision-making.
These courses build on the Tier 1 universal common-language curriculum and focus on specific skill areas.
✅Who Are Tier 2 Courses Designed For?
At the elementary level, the curriculum was written to support students with behavioral and mental health related needs that may not be fully addressed through Move This World's Tier 1 program.
At the middle and high school grade levels, Tier 2 courses are intended to help students strengthen social and emotional skills, while building meaningful connections with their peers.
For additional guidance on identifying students who may benefit from Tier 2 support, please refer to the Tier 2 Training Guide below, which includes specific referral considerations and examples.
✅ What Will I Find in My Course?
Each course is comprised of 10-11 units. Each unit is designed to be completed as a single "session" with your small group and is centered around a specific targeted skill area. Sessions have typically been designed for 30-40 minute time blocks.
The recommendation is to complete the sessions in the order they are placed; however, this is not a requirement and can be adapted based on your students' needs.
Separate from the core sessions, the Pick-Up Practices unit includes brief (~1-minute) video exercises designed for flexible use. These will include short videos designed to open or close work with students, as well as thematic content, allowing you to tailor these resources to the moment, setting, and needs of your students.
