Tier one services target issues in the school, and promote a healthier learning environment (Massat, Kelly & Constable, 2016).

An example of an EIP for bullying would be to organize a bully prevention week with activities each day such as an anti bullying parade. The bully prevention week will not only engage the students, but the teachers, parents, and school community. Participation in the bully prevention week activities will allow for a growth in awareness for the act of bullying, and advocating for a bully free school zone (The Diana Award, 2018).

Tier 3 interventions, are individualized and focus primarily on the student in their goals, and growth; with intention to promote a change in their behavior or outcomes. The collaboration of the students social systems such as family and education staff is needed for support in positive outcomes and change (Massat, Kelly & Constable, 2016).

CBT has been proven through research to be effective when working with violent behaviors (US Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.). CBT intervention will emphasize for the support of the parents and school community in effort to guide the student in their educational goals and a positive change (US Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.).
