School Support Teams in Virginia are a part of the Department of Education’s Academic Review Process. For those schools that were warned in the previous year and received an onsite academic review, the School Support Team (SST) reviews the current plan and provides technical assistance to the school to update the school improvement plan based on new accountability data. The SST consists of Department of Education staff and/or independent contractors trained in developing, implementing, and monitoring the school improvement plan. The team provides focused technical assistance and monitors the school improvement plan throughout the year as prescribed by the level of assistance assigned. The SST provides technical assistance based on the specific needs of the school and/or division. In some schools, only school intervention is needed while in other schools division intervention and allocation of resources may have to be diverted to support the efforts of the school(s) to improve. The school support team monitors and provides technical assistance to the school during the time it is rated accredited with warning. For more information on the on the School Support Team, see Superintendent’s Informational Memorandum Number 202, dated October 7, 2005. |
