District Rationale

• In 2011, CNUSD was found disproportionate in the number of Hispanic students identified for special education under the eligibility of Specific Learning Disability.

• The district also entered its first year Of Program Improvement.

• These two findings led to the development of the new Student Success Team(SST) procedures and forms.

Old vs. New Procedure Old Process

• Parent conference held• Strategies put into place.• SST Meeting Held

Additional strategies may be developed. No ongoing documentation used.

• Follow up meeting held. -If, through interview, strategies are

not successful, then a referral for Psycho-educational Evaluation may be presented.

New Process• Face-to-Face Parent Interview Form to

be completed.– Strategies developed– Student Intervention Form Started– If unsuccessful, then additional

strategies are developed with a grade-level SST Chair/Mentor

– If unsuccessful, then the Referral to SST Form is used.

– SST Meeting(s) are held.Additional Strategies are put into placeIf those are unsuccessful, then a referral for Psycho-educational Testing may be completed.

Student Support Team Process – Pre-SpEd Referral

Response to Intervention

Step 1: Teacher assessment – teacher has observed, met with parent and recorded that the student is performing below grade to typically achieving peers.

* This information may be brought to grade level meetings to identify under-achieving students.

* This data is assessed and tracked, comparing it with typically achieving peers – Baseline Data

- Probes and assessment forms should be utilized at this stage.

Step 2: TIER I: Intervention plan is implemented for 6-8 weeks . The Grade Level/SST Team will be able to assist with interventions and/ or progress monitoring before any Office-Level SST meeting. Tier I interventions need to be in place and continued after the initial meeting with parents and Grade-level teams to give the student time (6-8 weeks) to respond to the Tier I intervention. Therefore, time is not lost waiting for a meeting to be scheduled.

Step 3: Intervention plan is reviewed by the Grade-level/SST Teams. This review identifies target areas of weakness and creates any new interventions and goals for student progress utilizing Tier II interventions.

OR No significant progress (student is performing below same age peers Continue with Tier II, as per SST

Step 4: : Intervention Plan tracked and monitored by SST for 6-8 weeks. (TIER II –targeted intensive prevention or intervention services)

No significant progress – Refer to Office Level SST TIER III

Progress Monitor progress and then drop program if progress continues at grade level

PROGRESS – goals are met and student is progressing towards grade-level standards.

SST 1Initial Meeting with Parent/No Previous SST’s using the New Forms

Complete the “Parent Interview Part 1” Complete the “Student Intervention Log”

Write no more than 3 Target Behaviors Include Parent and Teacher Interventions for each Behavior targeted.

Complete the CNUSD K-8 Behavior Contract, if appropriate Complete the Student Interview, if appropriate.

If the interventions are successful and there are no other concerns, continue with the interventions, contact parent in person, by phone, or email. File a copy of all SST documents in a yellow file folder in the CUM.

If the interventions are successful and there are additional concerns, meet with parents to devise interventions to address the new concerns. Document on Student Intervention Log. This step may be repeated as needed until there are Target Behaviors that are not being successfully remediated.

SST III developed Interventions

Meeting I (T/P) and II (Site Team) Interventions

Meet with Grade/Subject Level Teams and Parents0 This is a great time to collaborate with your team for additional

interventions. 0 Addition interventions can be generated when meeting with parents.

Additional information from parents can be derived by using the Parent Interview Two forms.

0 Schedule a parent conference within 2-3 weeks to discuss outcomes.0 At this point, you have attempted approximately 6 interventions over

two 2-3 week periods in order to redirect the student towards success.

0 If interventions are successful and there are no further concerns, file a copy of the paperwork in the CUM and continue all interventions.

0 If interventions are not successful, request an Office Level SST meeting be scheduled by completing the Referral to SST team forms.

SST and Teacher Collaboration Protocol

Can Teacher Collaboration Time(PTT) be utilized for discussing individual students?

Grade level and Academic Teams are encouraged to plan PTT time to discuss concerns with individual students.

The referring teacher will present the concerns (academic, and or social) to the team, and mention any strategies or resources that have been used to address the concerns.

The team is encouraged to consider and suggest any additional methods, and or resources that can be implemented by the teacher.

Teacher will follow-up with the team to briefly discuss student’s status.

If progress is not evident, then the team will suggest a SST referral.

Components of a goal or objective:

►Who►Does what►How much accuracy►Measured how

Example of measurable objects

When given double digit addition and subtraction, Kelly will be able to compute the answer with 85% accuracy as measured by teacher created tests.

When given first grade material, Kelly will be able to read a passage orally at 50-80 wpm with no more than 5 errors as measured by fluency test

17

Examples of non-measurable goals • Kelly will work

towards 2nd grade math standards

• Kelly will improve her reading fluency
