Child Study. If a student does not respond to initial teacher interventions, the student is referred to the Child Study process. Child Study occurs during the weekly Faculty Meeting. The class teacher initiates the process by giving colleagues a complete and holistic picture of the child. After the child is described physically, socially, and academically, the teachers have an opportunity to ask additional questions. Discussions of a particular child may take place during several meetings. Next, the teachers are asked to observe the child for one week. Then, the parents of the student are often invited to describe their child and to offer insight or suggestions. Teachers and parents brainstorm together in order to find solutions to help the student become more successful.
