Targeted Executive Function Support for Interventions.

Equipping Intervention Teams with Executive Function Tools

Ideal for Tier 2 implementation, Cerebrate helps intervention teams deliver timely executive function support within MTSS and RTI frameworks. The platform brings together executive function evaluation, flexible curriculum options, and focused intervention strategies to support small-group and short-term instruction. Teams gain clear visibility into student response to intervention through ongoing progress monitoring, making it easier to adjust instruction, refine supports, and use data confidently to guide next steps.

Essential Focus Areas for Tier 2 Interventions

Early Identification of Needs

Identify executive function challenges impacting learning and behavior.

Targeted Small-Group Instruction

Deliver focused executive function interventions aligned to student needs.

Data-Informed Decision Making

Use evaluation and progress data to guide intervention planning.

Behavior and Engagement Support

Address executive function skills that influence behavior and participation.

Monitoring Response to Intervention

Track how students respond to executive function support over time.

Positive Learning Trajectories

Build foundational skills that reduce the need for more intensive interventions.

Turning Tier 2 Support Into Measurable Results

Tier 2 interventions are most effective when instruction, data, and decision-making work together. Cerebrate integrates executive function evaluation, targeted intervention lessons, and ongoing progress monitoring to help teams deliver the right support at the right time. This connected approach allows educators to clearly see how students are responding to intervention and make timely adjustments based on data.

As students develop executive function skills such as self-regulation, organization, time management, and problem-solving, they are better equipped to engage in learning and manage classroom expectations. For districts, Cerebrate provides a consistent, scalable Tier 2 executive function framework that strengthens MTSS implementation, supports instructional responsiveness, and helps reduce the need for more intensive supports.

Core Elements of Executive Function Interventions

Foundational Executive Function Skills

Students strengthen organization, self-regulation, time management, and problem-solving skills that support learning and behavior in Tier 2 settings.

Responsive, Targeted Interventions

Educators use executive function data to adjust instruction and interventions based on student response.

Improved Engagement and Participation

Students develop strategies that increase focus, persistence, and active participation in learning.

Monitoring Response to Intervention

Teams track progress over time to determine effectiveness and guide next steps within MTSS frameworks.

Aligned Tier 2 Team Practices

Intervention teams use a shared executive function approach to coordinate instruction, data, and decisions.

Prevention of More Intensive Supports

Early executive function intervention helps address skill gaps before students require higher levels of support.

What Administrators and Educators Are Saying About Cerebrate

We’re a very data-driven school, and that was another selling point—Cerebrate has data, and we can actually see if skills instruction is effective.

School Principal

Executive function skills are foundational, and Cerebrate supports skills that impact everything a student does.

MTSS Director

Helping students see, ‘You’re capable—you just don’t have the skill set yet,’ has been powerful.

School Principal

If students could do it differently, they would. Cerebrate helps us teach them how.

School Principal

With changes to Vermont special education rules, we really need to provide instruction in the mid-layer before specialized instruction, and Cerebrate allows us to do that.

MTSS Director

What I love about Cerebrate is that students take ownership—there isn’t one strategy for everyone.

School Principal

Because students are doing the metacognition themselves through Cerebrate, I believe the learning is sustainable.

School Principal

Cerebrate is a curriculum that can be readily implemented by all educators across grade levels and content areas. As a behavior interventionist, I finally have a scope and sequence that addresses the underlying deficits of the students I serve.

Behavior Interventionist

We have lots of resources for reading and math intervention, but executive functioning was missing—Cerebrate helps fill that gap.

MTSS Director

Cerebrate not only allows students to build the skills necessary to truly succeed in the academic setting, but it also gives them tools to be successful for the rest of their lives.

Behavior Interventionist

What surprised me was during the last week of school when the classes were just having fun, I didn’t pull students for small groups of doing Cerebrate because I thought they would want to just play with their classes, but many of them came to me still wanting to do their lessons.

School Counselor

What I noticed was there was no mid-layer for executive functioning—no Tier 2. Cerebrate gives us the tools to make that happen.
