Turn "random acts of guidance" into intentional, data-driven practices that support every student

If your office feels more like an emergency room than an educational setting, you aren't alone. Secondary school counselors can get stuck in a cycle of reactivity, putting out fires and responding to the loudest voices rather than preventing issues before they start. But to truly serve all students equitably, we must shift from "who shows up" to "who needs us most."

Hatching Tier Two and Three Interventions in Your Secondary School Counseling Program is your guide to making that shift. Focused on Tier 2 (supplemental) and Tier 3 (intensified) interventions within a Multi-Tiered, Multi-Domain System of Supports, this book helps you move beyond catching students after they fail, offering a systematic approach to getting them back on track.
