Department of Safe Schools - 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.

The Student Mental Health and Wellness Conference 2.0 Executive Summery

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.
