1. Staff will learn how to develop interventions to help struggling students, set goals for student progress, and monitor student progress toward goals. 2. The document discusses the Student Intervention Team (SIT) process which utilizes a team approach to develop intervention plans for students who are not responding to Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports. 3. The SIT process involves recommending students for intervention, completing forms to describe the student's needs and concerns, designing and implementing intervention plans with goals and monitoring procedures, and following up to evaluate intervention effectiveness and make adjustments if needed.
