After the request is screened, members of the team complete observations, conduct interviews and complete assessments to determine the child's specific needs. The IST meets to review the information, brainstorm strategies and develop a plan that assists the student at being more successful. Parents are included in the entire process. Before requesting assistance from the Instructional Support Team, the classroom teacher shares the concern with the child's parents. Parents participate in the Action Plan Meeting that creates the specific intervention plan for the child's needs.
Parents assist in helping to implement the plan at home.
Parents may request a special education evaluation at any time.
