Cornwall on Hudson Elementary School

The IST process:

• The teacher completes a form with all of the necessary information and documentation of the strategies that have already been tried in the classroom.
• The teacher lets the parent know that an IST meeting is being scheduled.
• The form is then reviewed by the building principal who schedules the meeting.
• The team meets with the referring teacher to listen to his/her concerns, brainstorm strategies to try in the classroom, to create a plan for the student and to assign a case manager.
• After the meeting, data is then collected on how the strategies are working or not working in the classroom.
• The team meets again as needed to share the data, brainstorm additional things to try in the classroom and/or refer to the Committee on Special Education (CSE) if necessary.
• Throughout the process, the classroom teacher communicates with the parents to keep them informed of the plan that is in place for their child.
