Single School Culture© Initiatives - Problem Solving/School Based Teams

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.

Goals of the PS/SBT:
  • Prevention

    The School Based Team is accessible to all school personnel and to parent(s)/guardian(s) in their preferred language to prevent barriers or to resolve them in the early stages.

  • Problem Solving

    The School Based Team will apply a problem solving approach by clearly defining the problem, identifying why the problem may be occurring, identifying the needs of the students who may be struggling academically or behaviorally, and developing a clearly stated plan for intervention if warranted.

  • 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 student’s response.

  • 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 a 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.
