83Problem Solving/School Based Teams Problem Solving/School Based Teams (PS/SBTs) are multidisciplinary teams on each school campus tasked with problem solving across the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Framework. These teams are in place to support the academic, behavioral and social/emotional needs of all students. The PS/SBT is a vehicle that ensures a safe and supportive school climate that promotes the social/emotional and academic development of all students. Its approach is both preventative and proactive. The PS/SBT follows the four step problem solving process in order to remove barriers to student learning. The PS/SBT meets weekly, biweekly or sometimes more frequently to address immediate barriers. Additional referrals to the PS/SBT include those students that may have academic or behavioral barriers to learning. The PS/SBT reviews multiple data sources in order to inform their decisions. If interventions are deemed necessary, they are provided through a continuum of support based on need. All students receive Core (Tier 1) instruction (Academics/Behavior). In FY25, some students may not respond to Core (Tier 1) instruction and will need Supplemental (Tier 2) instruction/intervention. A few students may not respond to Core and Supplemental which will require additional Intensive (Tier 3) instruction/intervention. Interventions are monitored to ensure fidelity through frequent progress monitoring using evidence-based tools to assess student response to intervention. Positive & Supportive Climate
