If the student does progress to level four, the team s ultimate goal is to facilitate that student s success through lower-level interventions. The idea is to arm the teachers with good strategies while giving them as much support as possible. Instead of giving the teachers a book of strategies to use, key personnel model how to develop effective strategies to address specific problems. The teachers learn to create their own strategies, which they can use in a variety of situations. It promotes the teacher s use of problem-solving skills to foster the student s achievement.
Most students succeed with just a few level-one interventions and parent cooperation.
It eliminates time wasted on unnecessary case studies and focuses the case-study time on students who truly need it. If it turns out that the student does indeed belong in special education, the data collected will expedite the case-study process and enable staff to evaluate the student more effectively.
