  35. Tier 1: In Addition to Schoolwide Positive Behavioral Supports, Tier 1 also includes Grade Level Teacher Meetings

  36. Tier 1: Grade Level/Teacher Meetings • Monitor and track all student progress • Analyze academic and behavioral group data: classroom assessments, MSA/HSA, office referrals, discipline data • Determine whether core curriculum and differentiation strategies are being implemented as recommended • Collaborate with parent/guardians to obtain family perspective • Identify supports for teachers to differentiate instruction and implement group/supplemental interventions • Implement and monitor interventions (30 days – 6 months) • Document student responses to interventions • Revise interventions on the basis of student performance • Recommend students with COMPLEX academic and behavioral needs to Student Support Team (SST)

  37. Tier 2: Targeted InterventionsStudent Support Team (SST)

  38. History & Development of Student Support Team (SST) • COMAR Regulation 13A.05.05.01: Each local school system shall provide a coordinated program of pupil services for all students • SST is an interdisciplinary, general education team that addresses complex academic and behavioral issues- BCPS has had Pupil Services Teams or SST for > 50 years • SST uses a problem-solving approach that relies on objective, data-based decision-making (based on IST model from Pennsylvania and IC model from Maryland) • SST uses a response to intervention (RTI) framework to connect with grade level teacher meetings and special education, IEP teams

  39. Tier 2: Student Support Team (SST) • Addresses more complex academic and behavioral problems of individual students, groups of students, and schoolwide concerns • Implements prevention and early intervention activities prior to intensive intervention to increase student achievement, improve schoolwide climate, reduce disruptive behavior, reduce inappropriate referrals to the IEP Team, and increase parent/guardian involvement • Provides a continuum of academic and behavioral interventions and supports in connection with other schoolwide initiatives such as PBIS and grade level teacher meetings and more intensive interventions like community partnerships and special education

  40. Tier 2: Student Support Team (SST) • SST Members as Required • SST Chairperson: Administrator/Designee • School Counselor • School Nurse • School Psychologist • School Social Worker • Pupil Personnel Worker/PPW • Classroom Teacher/Instructional Support Teacher (IST) • Additional SST Members • Resource Teacher, Reading Specialist, Reading Coach, Instructional Coach, Mentor • Special Education Teacher, SLP, OT, PT, Transition Counselor • Supervisor • Parents/Guardians (FBA/BIP, 504)

  41. Tier 2: Student Support Team (SST) • Student Support Team Agenda • Processing/Screening Referrals (5-10 minutes) • Initial Problem Solving Meetings (30-45 minutes per student) • Progress Review Meetings (15-30 minutes per student) • Schoolwide Issues (as needed for large group or setting issues)

  42. Tier 2: Student Support Team (SST) • Functions of SST • Screening/Processing referrals • Case management • Mental health issues • Substance abuse issues • Physical/health issues • Academic & behavioral interventions through Student Support Plans • 504 Plans • Targeted group or setting interventions (ADHD, cafeteria) • Referral to IEP/Special Education Team

  43. Tier 2: Student Support Team (SST) • New Developments • Use of computerized data system for SST forms, Student Support Plans, 504 Plans- allows for schoolwide and systemwide data review over time • Focus on development and monitoring of academic and behavioral interventions through Student Support Plans (see packet for copy of SS Plan) • Focus on connecting students from schoolwide PBIS team (“discipline high flyers”) to SST • Focus on connecting students with more intensive mental health needs to SST and community partnerships

  44. Tier 3: Intensive InterventionsSST/IEP & Community Partnerships

  45. Tier 3: SST / IEP • A student is referred to SST/IEP when the student has not responded to Tier 1 or Tier 2 interventions or is suspected of a disability as defined by IDEA, including adverse educational impact, and is in need of specially designed instruction/services • Students are referred to IEP Team when parent/guardian orally or in writing suspects a disability as defined by IDEA , including adverse educational impact, and need for specially designed instruction/services

  46. Tier 3: Community Partnerships in BCPS • Total of 63 schools/centers (171 schools, centers, programs in BCPS) • 42 ES • 14 MS • 6 HS • 1 Alternative • High levels of need and risk • Free/reduced meal eligibility • Mobility • Family vulnerability • Lack of access to community-based supports

Tier 3: Community Partnerships in BCPS • Services • individual/group counseling • family counseling • medication management • psychiatric and other community agency referral • related mental health services • crisis intervention • Therapist in school a few days per week • Not to supplant IEP-based related services • “Fee for service” model can be a barrier to therapist linking to SST

  49. Tier 3: DSS/Community ProviderPartnership Project • DSS serves ten (10) elementary schools • Linked to Department of Health/BCPS Health Services Wellness Center in each school • Linked to Community Provider in six (6) schools in “Successful Schools” program • Grant funding from school system, county, and state
