Building Based Student Support Team is a school-based, problem solving approach to meet the needs of at-risk students in regular education classroom settings.  Team members discuss issues related to specific individual needs of students and teachers and offer teachers assistance in resolving problems.  The team is composed of regular program teachers, administrators, counselors and other individuals as needed (i.e. Special Education personnel or school nurse).  The team pools their expertise from many areas to help resolve many school and student issues.  Using this collaborative approach, educators are given the opportunity to address concerns and find solutions.  Through this team effort, referrals to programs outside the regular classroom can be significantly reduced.  Educators can receive immediate support when confronting specific academic, social, and/or behavioral concerns regarding students.
