Teams and Special Education Programming
|
The practice of responsive teaching and learning, including the supporting framework of special education, is based on collaboration. Four collaborative teams support special education processes, programming, and services. Teaching and Learning Team (RTL K-6) or Collaborating Teachers (SDM 7-12) - A Teaching and Learning Team (TLT) or group of collaborating teachers is comprised of educators who collaboratively analyze teaching and learning data and use this analysis to respond to student learning and inform their teaching practices. In relation to special education programming, a Teaching and Learning Team (K-6) oversees the implementation of intensive intervention determined by the program planning team. |

Service Delivery Team - A school-based team of educators who collaborate to inform responsive teaching and learning practices related to consultation requests, the comprehensive assessment process. |
|
| Comprehensive Assessment Team - A team of educators with specialized training in assessment who collaborate to conduct a comprehensive assessment. Comprehensive assessment provides information on whether a student would benefit from enrichment and/or skill development programming through special education. |  |
Program Planning Team - A school-based team initiated for a student who requires enrichment and/or skill development programming through special education. The team includes parent(s)/guardian(s), educators and the student, if developmentally appropriate. The team will review a summary of teaching and learning data in order to make informed and responsive decisions regarding the student's educational programming. The Program Planning Team is responsible for developing the Individual Education Plan.
