The Structure of Tier 1 Middle School

We offer 3 flexible, year-long Scope and Sequences for our Tier 1 Middle School Curricula: 35-session (features all sessions in our Core Curricula), 30-session, or 25-session options.

35 Sessions

Our most in-depth option, for schools with the most time.

30 Sessions

Great for schools adding policy-driven or supplemental lessons.

25 Sessions

Our shortest option for schools with less time.

The same total number of sessions and Scope and Sequence options (35, 30, 25), now grouped into more explicit, horizontally-aligned units. Units build on each other, provide easier customization, and reinforce the 3 core outcomes: Engagement, Well-Being, and Belonging.
