The Processes of Identify are not Delivered with Fidelity

The Processes of Identify are not Delivered with Fidelity

The processes of the Identify stage are: 

• Assessment for Kindergarten Students 
• Assessment for Students Enrolling in School 
• Continuous Monitoring and Identification of Additional Needs 
• Establishment of a Student Support Team.

When these are not delivered with mastery or fidelity, the negative effects and compounding problems are:

• Students’ needs go unnoticed, they slip further behind, experience entrenched learning failure and disengage from learning.
• Ad hoc support to students results in inconsistencies, leading to low student progress.
• Limited or no parent involvement contributes to poor student diagnosis and minimal student support.
• Support plans are not reviewed and updated, so students are staying on plans for too long and not getting the desired results.
• Minimal parental involvement leads to the teaching team making all the decisions and shouldering the work and responsibility.
• Minimal support for the child’s education at home limits their educational opportunities.
