As an administrator at the high school level, I have seen the difference that Service Teams make in the lives of our students. COMPASS Consulting has been with the schools helping to develop Service Teams from the beginning. They have been extremely helpful in supporting and growing this initiative. Our students are better off today as a result of their support.

How Service Teams work
When providers and families work together on a student’s behalf, we plan and problem solve more effectively. That’s the concept behind Service Teams.

Teams meet every week throughout the school year, focusing on their core group of students placed at risk. Typically there is one Service Team for every 100-125 students in a school.

Team members share their particular expertise, and share responsibility for student success. And together, they identify problems, develop and implement solutions and monitor student progress.

In addition, we make insure that the Service Teams have the support they need in terms of process consultation, facilitation, management and policy.

	COMPASS Consulting has been a valuable addition to our school.  Through the Service Team model, we have been able to meet once a week in small groups to do collaborative problem solving around children and their specific problems.  The training received, and the process itself, have allowed many of the children here to become successful learners, meeting observable, measurable, individualized objectives set by the team.
