There are many interventions and accommodations that can be made for students before
referring them to the child study team. The teacher can do an observation of the student, like
watch how they take notes in class, is the student organized. Do they just stuff their notes in
their backpack or do they put them in a folder for that particular class? Next, the teacher should
compare all the test scores of the student. Are the scores similar across the board or did they
score high on one test and lower on all the others. The teacher could change the classroom,
rearrange the student's seating. Identify the student's learning strengths and needs. Monitor
the student's assignments, are they not turning them in at all or turning them in late on a
regular basis. See if the student is not understanding the assignments and what they are
struggling with to see if you need to make it simpler.
