ABSTRACT
The Instructional Support Team (IST) process is an intensive
building-based pre-referral intervention program using teams of teachers and
other school professionals to assist elementary students experiencing
difficulty in the classroom. This trainer's manual outlines a 3-day workshop
for team training. The schedule for each day is provided, with a detailed
breakdown and description of topics to be covered, worksheets, handouts, and
support materials for each activity or section; and agenda forms for the
trainer. Day one topics include goal setting, challenging paradigms, IST
expectations, elements of an effective team, looking at the whole child, and
buddy team activities. Day two covers demonstration of a team meeting,
several case study simulations, and preparation of a vision video. Day three
focuses on agenda setting, team'maintenance, program development, and action
planning. Masters for overhead transparencies are included.
