  *Try multiple interventions

  *Collect and track specific data on each intervention tried and the effect of each intervention over the time it was implemented
  *After at least 6 weeks, you may consider moving to tier 2 interventions. You must submit your tier 1 data to and speak with your building administrator before moving to tier 2 as well.
