About

INTEGRATED STUDENT SUPPORTS:INTEGRATED STUDENT SUPPORTS (ISS) IS A SHORTHAND FOR HOW WE BRING TOGETHER THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF RESOURCES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND SERVICES THAT STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES NEED TO COME TO SCHOOL READY TO LEARN. OUR EVIDENCE-BASED MODEL PLACES SITE COORDINATORS DIRECTLY IN EACH OF OUR SCHOOLS, WHERE THEY FORM TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS, DIMINISHING THE NONACADEMIC BARRIERS THAT KEEP KIDS FROM SUCCEEDING IN SCHOOL. SITE COORDINATORS OFFER SUPPORT AT THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS: SCHOOL-WIDE, SMALL-GROUP, AND ONE-ON-ONE. SITE COORDINATORS WORK TOGETHER WITH STUDENTS, FAMILY MEMBERS, TEACHERS, AND GUIDANCE COUNSELORS TO HELP STUDENTS SET GOALS TO IMPROVE ACADEMICS, BEHAVIOR, AND/OR ATTENDANCE. THE MODEL OF ISS FOLLOWS A CONTINUED CYCLE OF ASSESSMENT, PLANNING, SUPPORT, MONITORING, AND EVALUATION:1. NEEDS ASSESSMENT: SITE COORDINATOR ANALYZES MULTIPLE SOURCES OF DATA TO IDENTIFY KEY NEEDS OF SCHOOL AND INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS.2. PLANNING: SITE COORDINATORS LEAD THEIR SUPPORT TEAM IN DEVELOPING A SITE PLAN THAT PRIORITIZES SUPPORTS FOR ACADEMIC AND NON-ACADEMIC NEEDS.3. INTEGRATED STUDENTS SUPPORTS: SITE COORDINATOR AND PARTNERS DELIVER SUPPORT TO SCHOOL, STUDENTS, AND FAMILIES THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT TIERS. TIER I SUPPORTS TARGET SCHOOL-WIDE GOALS (TIER I EXAMPLE: CLOTHING DRIVE, FAMILY ENGAGEMENT NIGHT). TIER II SUPPORTS TARGET SMALL GROUPS OF AT-RISK STUDENTS WHO SHARE A COMMON NEED (TIER II EXAMPLE: TUTORING, GRIEF COUNSELING GROUP). TIER III SUPPORTS TARGET A SMALLER POPULATION OF REFERRED, HIGH-NEED STUDENTS WHO RECEIVE INTENSIVE ONE-ON-ONE CASE-MANAGEMENT. 4. MONITORING AND ADJUSTING: SITE COORDINATOR CONTINUOUSLY MONITORS STUDENT AND SCHOOL PROGRESS AND ADJUSTS SUPPORTS TO OPTIMIZE RESULTS.5.
