Abstract
-
This professional project centers on the enhancement of the Individual Problem Solving (IPS) process through the implementation of a structured, schoolwide support system designed to benefit both students and staff. Throughout the 2024–2025 academic year, a diverse team of educators collaborated to update, streamline, and refine the IPS framework. The primary objective was to provide teachers with an accessible and efficient document that enables them to clearly articulate a student’s concerns, strengths, and areas of need. By simplifying the referral process and ensuring consistency in documentation, the updated IPS serves as both a practical tool for classroom teachers and a guiding framework for determining the most appropriate supports, including potential special education services. Ultimately, the aim is to leave a sustainable, user-friendly process that enhances teacher effectiveness, promotes early and accurate interventions, and fosters equitable access to support for all students.
