Instructional Support Team (IST)

IST is a building-based team approach, designed to meet the needs of regular education students who are experiencing difficulty academically and/or behaviorally within the classroom setting.  Students may be referred by the classroom teacher, parent, or other concerned adult.  The IST teacher convenes a team meeting, including parents, to develop a plan to address the areas of difficulty.
