Created to provide ONE efficient, valid, and reliable tool that can be used over time to be used:

As a guide for implementation of Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III practices
As a tool for sustained implementation
As a metric for identifying schools for recognition

Our plan for is to use TFI for recognition criteria for Tier II and Tier III.
