"Educators, community members, parents, and students can generate much higher levels of student achievement - can virtually eliminate school failure - by connecting with students and coordinating the resources they need to succeed."
 
"Partnership: like-minded people moving in a single direction."
 
  Student Improvement Team Training Manual, KSDE (1999)

The Student Improvement Team at Council Grove High School is a group of teachers, the student, parents and sometimes other support personnel, that meet together to help students reach greater levels of achievement through problem-solving and the coordination of resources.

During the Student Improvment Team process at Council Grove High School, information is gathered to facilitate the team in making decisions based upon data. The data collected may include:

• Observations
•Interviews - students & parents
•Work samples
•Grades
•ITBS scores
•Kansas Assessment scores
•Attendance
•Behavior reports

Teachers, parents, & students can all request assistance by the Student Improvement Team process.
This process is also used for students at Council Grove High School that achieve a Basic rating on the Kansas Assesments in Reading, Mathematics or Writing. Students scoring in the 30% or lower on ITBS scores are reviewed and prioritized for assistance by this process.

After a student's initial meeting & the writing of a Student Improvement Plan; the student's progress is periodically monitored to make sure they are progressing in the right direction.

Student Improvement Teams include a student's teachers, the principal and other members that come on an as needed basis. These may include the school nurse, the school social worker, or others.
