Tier 1 instruction is supported by teacher actions such as setting clear learning goals, using engaging and culturally relevant lessons, and providing explicit instruction with scaffolds. Frequent checks for understanding and timely feedback allow teachers to adjust in real time, while differentiation ensures all learners are supported and challenged. Clear routines and a positive classroom environment also maximize learning time. Together, these actions make core instruction effective, equitable, and engaging so fewer students need higher-level interventions.

Tier 1 line 4.-planning and modeling keeps the lesson flowing and allows the students to actively engage with the lesson while allowing the teacher to provide real time feedback.
