| The Student Support Team Concept:
A student support team is a school-based, problem solving group. Team
members discuss issues related to specific needs of teachers and students
and offer teachers assistance in resolving problems. The team is composed
of regular education teachers, administrators, counselors, and other
individuals as needed, including special education teachers.
By establishing a student support team, a school may call upon the expertise
of a number of individuals, professionals, paraprofessionals, and
nonprofessionals in resolving school and/or student issues. Through
collaboration, educators are given the opportunity to address
concerns and find solutions with greater perspective.
