A Support Team is…
A team of school personnel that provides behavioral, social, emotional, academic, and attendance support for a designated student.
The responsibility of general education staff.
A problem-solving process
![Page 8: SUPPORT TEAM](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568166c3550346895ddad0aa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Primary Objectives are…
To determine what resources are needed in order for a student to be successful in the learning environment. NOTE: A student referred for Support Team intervention is not necessarily being referred for exceptional education, because the Support Team functions as an intermediate step between recognition of a problem and formal referral of the student for a comprehensive evaluation, at which time, exceptional education procedures begin.
