Learning Support
Valle Catholic Care Team
The Care Team is a team of professional staff representing a variety of disciplines that provides students with additional academic and/or social-emotional support. This Care Team process is based on systematic data collection and analysis, consistent documentation and consideration of all relevant and available information. The Care Team will collect and analyze data to:
-
Plan for students, including determining (or designing) appropriate interventions for both academic and behavioral skill development.
-
Monitor the effectiveness of interventions.
-
Support staff in their implementation of interventions, data collection, and data analysis.
-
Suggest referrals for additional assistance, assessment, or services if needed.
The Care Team will collect data consisting of existing educational information, staff input, data collected through the intervention process, and when necessary, data from individual student assessments.
The Care Team will obtain parent acknowledgement before a student enters the Care Team process. This might include a request for any and all relevant information about their children, including outside professionals and/or agencies.
