Student Support Team
Student Support Teams are proactive, multidisciplinary, problem-solving structures that analyze trends in school-wide data ( e.g. attendance, behavior, academics, and health) to understand the ways in which scholars experience school. The SST is the school's vehicle for the development and management of school-wide, universal prevention and intervention activities. It is the overarching, macro approach to school-based student services and guides the micro approaches delivered at each tier.
