Student Success Teams

This publication by the California Department of Education (CDE) describes strategies to ensure that all students can be successful in the general education program. It details what has been learned in schools throughout California that has provided assistance in the regular classroom for students at risk of school failure. When a site-based, collaborative team of teachers, specialists, parents, and the student meet to focus on the needs of the student, a path to successful learning is created. Student Success Teams: Supporting Teachers in General Education illustrates how teachers can work with local expertise, students, and parents to develop tactics that empower students to play an active role in their education. Thoughtful implementation of Student Success Plans can mean the difference between a student “slipping through the cracks” and successfully learning the curriculum.
