IST stands for Instructional Support Team. The goal of IST is to maximize individual students success in the regular classroom. Any elementary-aged student who is experiencing difficulty in the classroom due to academic or behavioral problems is a candidate for IST. Any concerned person may request assistance for a child.

The parents, requesting person, principal, teacher, and Instructional Support Teacher are always invited to be members of the Team. Other members are recruited as needed.
The IST process is a very positive, success-oriented program which follows specific assessment and intervention tactics to help remove educational and behavioral stumbling blocks for elementary children in the regular classroom. It is a team approach designed to assist students to function successfully in the elementary school environment.
