As the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) provisions of No Child Left Behind are implemented, an effective Student Support Team (SST) process will become even more vital for schools.  The SST process and resulting plans certainly can be instrumental in identifying students who are at-risk of performing below grade level and remediating them as soon as possible. 

Advancing Education, Inc. has developed a comprehensive training program which will result in a teacher or administrator in a school becoming an in-house SST trainer/coach who can work with the school’s personnel and parents to improve the SST process and train the individuals in the school to be effective SST members. SST support services also will be available from Advancing Education, Inc. through this program. All training and services will be conducted by Dr. Donna O’Neal, President, Advancing Education, Inc.

Training Provided to Trainers
	Two-day training session (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) which will result in a certified SST trainer/coach.
	First Day - Individuals will participate in SST Training as if they were SST members. Individuals will bring CRCT and other achievement data on an individual child (identifying information redacted).  In a mock SST meeting, data will be analyzed and an SST plan which focuses on student deficiencies in CRCT domains and effective instructional strategies will be created.
