Student Intervention Team (SIT)

The Student Intervention Team (SIT) is a collaborative, general education problem-solving team made up of a variety of school personnel. The purpose of the SIT is to select appropriate, effective behavior and academic interventions for students who are experiencing difficulty in school in order to support student growth in lagging skills so they may be successful in the general education setting.
