Through an informal partnership with the University of Connecticut’s Collaboratory on School and Child Health they shared this image they had created based on adaptations from others. What we envision is illustrated very nicely in this graphic where we see various domains such as physical, academic, behavioral, social, and emotional woven together and are supported by both school and community in an integrated manner. In this image you’ll notice three tiers of support. In a multi-tiered system of support there is an emphasis on prevention. It is necessary to have a strong foundation to reduce the # of students who appear to have Tier 2 and 3 needs. Universal supports allow us to build on strengths and ensure a heavy dose of prevention. An image like this can also help schools and community organizations to better communicate the available supports and identify duplication or gaps.
