The Problem-Solving/School Based Teams (PS/SBT) are multi-disciplinary teams of educators, parents and community agencies dedicated to addressing and matching student academic, behavioral, social, and emotional needs with evidence based interventions.

• Prevention

  The school based team is accessible to all school personnel and to parent(s)/guardian(s) in their preferred language to prevent problems or resolve them in the early stages.

• Problem Solving

  The school based team will apply a problem solving approach by clearly defining the problem and identifying the needs of students who are struggling academically or behaviorally

• Intervention

  The school based team will develop and coordinate implementation, based on the defined problem, appropriate evidence-based interventions and will monitor progress to evaluate the results.

• Collaboration/Consultation

  The school based team employs a collaborative consultation model. Effective collaboration ensures that all team members are equal and that intervention techniques are developed through mutual effort.

• Professional Development

  The school based team will facilitate training for school personnel and parent(s)/guardian(s) (in their preferred language) regarding the problem solving model.
