The Team Approach
- Interdisciplinary teaming takes
place in every school for children and youth with specializing
learning needs by:
- The Early Childhood Program of
Plainville for 3 to 5 year olds
- Prerefferal Teams for K through
Grade 5 students
- Student Intervention Team for
Middle School students
- Student Assistance Model team
for High School Students
The focus of all the
assistance teams is strategies- development and implementation-to
enhance each referred student's school adjustment. Referrals
to the team are made by parents, teachers, administrators,
related services staff, and by community agencies assisting
family members.
If it appears that
a student's progress is a concern after a team-generated series
of intervention strategies has been tried, an Individual Education
Planning team meeting may be scheduled. At the meeting, the
IEP team explores the student's academic strengths and weaknesses
and determines the need for educational assessment. Once the
evaluation process is completed, the IEP team meets to share
results and to determine if special education services are
required.
The main goal of each of our teams is
to improve student success.
