Role of the school:
“Reviewing the student’s background documents the extent to which a student’s problem has been a persistent problem, offers insight as to the severity of the problem, and provides information as to whether the problem is inherent to the student” (Colarusso, 2013, p. 73). Another role of the school is to look at a student’s file to determine past performance. “It can be used to help evaluate a student’s previous access to learning materials and the pattern of previous school progress” (Colarusso, 2013, p. 73).
