Which students must receive instruction in grade level standards within the Tier 1 setting?

All students must receive instruction in grade level standards within the Tier 1 setting, with differentiated supports tailored to their individual learning needs. This approach ensures that every student, regardless of their academic performance or learning challenges, is provided access to the general education curriculum. Differentiated supports may include varied teaching strategies, materials, and assessments that cater to diverse learning styles and abilities, enabling all students to engage effectively with the content.

This inclusivity is fundamental to a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), where the goal is to address varying levels of student need without isolating them from the core curriculum. By emphasizing that all students receive grade-level instruction, it promotes equity and enhances the potential for growth and achievement across the spectrum of learners.
