ABSTRACT

The purpose of this book is to provide resource material for the setting up and development of Teacher Support Teams (TSTs) in schools. It has been designed with the purpose of providing background literature and practical suggestions on what a TST looks like and how it might function. An attempt has been made to make the material relevant to teachers and administrators in both primary and secondary education. Although there are obviously fundamental differences in the organisation of schooling between the primary and secondary sectors, all the material included here was found to be relevant and useful in both contexts. Moreover, readers are encouraged to adapt the material to fit their own needs.
