Which item is NOT listed as part of the New Student Identification and Education System Support category?

• A. Department meetings
• B. In-services
• C. Staff Development
• D. Parent-Teacher Conferences

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that this category focuses on actions directly supporting identifying new students and coordinating the school’s response to their education needs. Department meetings fit because they provide the cross-team coordination needed to identify students and plan supports. In-services match since they are targeted trainings for staff on procedures and practices related to identification and system processes. Parent-Teacher Conferences align as they involve families in the process, communicating student needs and the supports the school will provide, which is part of linking identification to education system supports. Staff Development is broader and ongoing professional growth for staff, not a specific component of identifying new students or implementing system-wide supports, so it isn’t listed under this category.
