The SST Process Rationale, Procedures and Paperwork

1. The SST Process Rationale, Procedures and Paperwork • Rationale • Forms • Procedures • Objectives

2. 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.

3. Old vs. New Procedure Old Process New 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. • 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 place If those are unsuccessful, then a referral for Psycho-educational Testing may be completed.

5. SST 1 Initial 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.

9. SST 2 – Previous SST’s are on File/Interventions are not Successful. Meet with Grade/Subject Level Teams and Parents • This is a great time to collaborate with your team for additional interventions. • Addition interventions can be generated when meeting with parents. Additional information from parents can be derived by using the Parent Interview Two forms. • Schedule a parent conference within 2-3 weeksto discuss outcomes. • At this point, you have attempted approximately 6 interventions over two 2-3 week periods in order to redirect the student towards success. • If interventions are successful and there are no further concerns, file a copy of the paperwork in the CUM and continue all interventions. • If interventions are not successful, request an Office Level SST meeting be scheduled by completing the Referral to SST team forms.

10. 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.

11. SST Office-Level Team Meeting Request 1. Fill out page 1 of the Referral to SST Form and the Testing History Form(or attach Data Director Printout). Copies of all data are to be included in the referral. Include the names of all personnel you would like to have in attendance. This can be done on a site-created form. 2. Give a copy of all completed forms to your SST Chairperson for review and scheduling. 3. Continue all interventions until the meeting takes place. If additional interventions are started, please add them to your SST Forms to present at the office level meeting 4. Step 6 of the Referral to SST form will be completed at the meeting.

16. Components of a goal or objective: • Who • Does what • How much accuracy • Measured how

17. 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

18. Examples of non-measurable goals • Kelly will work towards 2nd grade math standards • Kelly will improve her reading fluency
