Student Study Team PROCEDURE

The purpose of the Student Study Team is to take a more in-depth look at the situation of particular child or family, and to develop a plan of action to assist the child/family.

  1. The need for Student Study Teams is primarily identified at the Case Review or through a Statement of Concern. The Service Area Managers are responsible for organizing the Student Study Team.

    1.  The Student Study Team may include the following members:

  2. Parents are critical members of the team

  3. Teacher or Home Visitor

  4. Service Area Manager

  5. Family Advocate

    With parent’s permission, the following may also be included:

    • Representatives from other agencies

    • Consultants (e.g. mental health consultant)

  7. The Family Advocate is responsible for notifying all attendees of the date and location of the meeting. (Use the Student Study Team Conference Notice.)

  8. The Student Study Team will develop a written plan at the meeting using the Student Study Team Plan form to describe the areas of concern and Plan for Follow-Up.

  9. The Form is signed by all attendees.

  10. The results of actions listed in the Plan for Follow-up are entered in the Outcome section of the Student Study Team Plan.
