The Mission of Building Based Student Support Team (BBSST)
Monday, September 22, 2008
Building-Based Student Support Team is a school based, problem solving approach to met the needs of at-risk students in regular education classroom settings. Team members discuss issues related to the specific individual needs of students and teachers while offering teachers assistance in resolving problems. The team is composed of regular program teachers, administrators, counselors, and other individuals , as needed (ie. special education personnel, school nurse). The team pools their expertise from many areas to help resolve many school and student issues. Using this collaborative approach, educators are given the opportunity to address concerns and find solutions. Through the team effort, referrals to programs outside the regular classroom can be significantly reduced. Educators can receive immediate support when confronting specific academic, social, and/or behavioral concerns regarding students.
