I&RS

The I&RS Team is a collaborative problem-solving group established to assist teachers with strategies to help students who are experiencing learning and/ or behavior problems within the school environment. The team is composed of school staff members who represent different areas of expertise and educational experiences

When a student is reviewed at an I&RS meeting, the student’s teacher describes the reason they are asking for assistance. Strategies that have been tried to alleviate the problem are identified. Members then brainstorm alternative interventions and new or additional approaches are agreed upon. An action plan is generated and a review date is established for implementing the recommendations and observing their effectiveness.
