Taming the Technology

Supporting Students through a Multi-tiered Approach
At Doncaster Secondary College we have a range of interventions and supports available to maximise student learning and growth. These supports fall into three categories or tiers:
- Tier 1 – are interventions that all students receive.
- Tier 2 – are interventions that specific groups receive.
- Tier 3 – are interventions that specific individuals receive.
Our current focus is on monitoring the effectiveness of our Tier 1 supports, which include:
- 5R’s
- Entry Routines
- Instructional Model
With each tier 1 support, students have a role to play. It is with this in mind that we invite parents/carers to discuss one of the supports with their child and find out if they understand the role a student plays in that intervention.
The College reports on students’ Personal and Social Capabilities each semester, part of which is based on their capacity to follow instructions, meet expectations, and work cooperatively. By encouraging your child to share their understanding of our tier 1 approaches, you are actively developing their personal and social capabilities at home.
Thank you in advance for partnering with us.
