Out of this representative group, a “core team” should be established, which
should include four to seven members. Core team members should demonstrate
broad-based knowledge of student needs, working knowledge of the
teaming process, and a commitment to that process. Whenever possible, the
team should include both parent(s) and student as active participants.
Auxiliary Team (Expanded Team)
Team membership can be expanded based on specific case needs. The nature of
the concern and whether it is an individual student, building, or district concern
will help determine the exact make-up of the auxiliary or expanded team.
Selection of Team Members
Selection of a “core team” may be conducted in one of the following ways, in
accordance with district policies and procedures:
The parent is always
a member
of the team
• Administrative appointment by the principal, superintendent, or other
administrator
• Peer selection or election
• Self-nomination or voluntary service
Duration of Team Membership
When establishing Student Support Teams, it is important to determine the
service time frame for “core team” members:
• Ongoing - Some positions on the “core team” may be ongoing (e.g., building
principal)
• Fixed Term - Some “core team” positions may be fixed (e.g., one semester, one
school year, etc.)
Student Support Team Meetings
Meeting times for student support teams are critical to the success and continuation
of the team. In most cases, teams meet either:
• Before school
• After school
