Instructional Consultation Teams

ICT
Melinda Bright and Kandy Grant at our 2010 Stakeholder's Meeting

Instructional Consultation Teams (ICT) provide student intervention and professional development to schools. The goal of ICT is to enhance, improve, and increase student and staff performance. This is done through the use of an ICT facilitator and a team that meets weekly. They are extensively trained in a problem-solving process, the use of Instructional Assessment, and data collection on a Student Documentation Form. In a school with ICT, a teacher may request assistance regarding a student. A team member will be assigned to facilitate the case through the process of contracting, problem identification, intervention design, implementation, and evaluation. The teacher and case manager create a plan that can be implemented in the classroom for use with one student, small groups, or the entire class. The ICT facilitator models assessments and strategies in the classroom, facilitates and trains the team, and serves as a case manager. In this way, teachers' skills are enhanced and best practices are used in the classroom to support the success of students.
