The Student Study Team (SST) is a school site team which involves parents, students, and teachers working together to assist regular education students who are not progressing satisfactorily. The SST model aims to increase positive outcomes for students; improve the quality and efficiency of meetings; and increase personal satisfaction levels for teachers, parents, and the student. Section I, "Introduction and Rationale," defines the Student Study Team and outlines its benefits. Section II, "Key Elements of the Model," describes participation by parents and students, roles of team members, and use of wall charts to record information discussed during meetings. Section III, "Bilingual/Bicultural Considerations," focuses on effective use of the SST process with language minority students, modifications necessary in team membership, and considerations regarding language minority parents. Section IV, "Trainers' Guide," provides information on the training model, negotiating with school district administrators, and roles of "District Linker" and "Coach," along with a school site checklist, sample script, and training goals. A section on implementation and evaluation outlines necessary functions for successful SST operations and provides survey forms and checklists for evaluating the SST's effectiveness. Master copies for 27 training handouts are included. Appended are resource lists, background articles, and sample forms. (JDD)
