Answer: A- The first step is typically to form a Student Study Team with the parents and other specialists. A Student Study Team is a partnership between the school and home that uses a problem-solving approach to help students be more successful in school.
A Student Study Team provides support for students, families, and teachers. The team reviews the student’s strengths and areas of concern, grades, attendance, health, and assessment data. The team develops a plan for success. The plan may include changes in the classroom environment such as a new seat or new group; more communication between home and school about homework completion and expectations; after-school support such as homework club; in-school support such as additional Math or English. If the Student Study Team suspects that the student has a disability, an assessment to determine eligibility for IEP and special education services may be recommended.
