Reflective Team Process (RTP): A Facilitated Dialogue to Support and Enhance the Effectiveness of Early Intervention Teams

eip logo

SERC is offering school-based teams the opportunity to reflect on their beliefs, actions, and experiences with early intervention. This free, on-site, job-embedded professional development activity is ideal for Early Intervention Teams, Student Assistance Teams, Child Study Teams, and other collaborative problem-solving/instructional support teams, such as grade level teams. SERC’s Reflective Team Process (RTP) helps teams to refine their current practice.

Through purposeful inquiry, SERC Consultants will assist school faculty and administration to establish shared understanding as to the effectiveness of their current process and how to support the school’s continued efforts to enhance early intervention practices that will result in improved student achievement.

Based on outcomes of a case study review and a staff survey analysis, this reflective process is a mutually positive learning experience for participating school-based teams and SERC. Schools feel re-energized from this valuable learning process and are better able to identify how they can embed intervention early in the daily practice of the school. SERC gains greater insight into the long-term effectiveness of early intervention resulting in student success and determines how to best direct SERC’s future professional development activities and technical assistance to support districts’ sustainability efforts.
