without an SST meeting, then the child is monitored for successful progress. If the concerns are not resolved, SST meeting preparation is started. For the team to have optimum information to work with, the child’s teacher should provide essential information about the child to the team. In Section E of this chapter the information provided under Student Record Review offers a format for teachers/counselors to prepare information that would be beneficial to the SST. During the meeting, an effective practice to utilize is a group memory format to assist the team in efficient documentation of ideas generated during the meeting. On the action plan that is developed, a follow-up date should be set to review the progress of the child for whom there are concerns. The action plan should be evaluated at this meeting and determination made if any further follow-up is necessary.
