CARE(校园评估, 响应, and Evaluation) Team was initiated at 宾州州立大学蒙阿尔托分校 in fall 2007 (originally called the Early Intervention Team) in an effort to identify at-risk students, 并采取适当的干预措施.
The program provides the campus community with an opportunity to share their concerns about a student. The main purpose of the CARE TEam is to identify students of concern and intervene as early as possible. 学生们可能正在经历学术, 个人, 心理健康, 的关系, or other issues that could interfere with their academic success or adjustment to college life, 或者对自己或他人造成危险.
这个项目的目标是什么?
The main goal is to identify students in distress early enough to provide appropriate support and/or response, 并提高学生的保留率和成绩. The program is designed to accomplish this through early identification of students who are at risk in different ways, 包括:
- Academic progress that is unresolved with faculty intervention (i.e. students not responding to faculty attempts related to class attendance, course performance, etc.)
- 个人健康或健康(一.e. 继续表现出健康受损症状的学生, 即使在适当转诊到保健提供者之后也是如此)
- Students exhibiting behaviors or expressing comments which have the potential to impact the safety of themselves or others
- Students exhibiting strange or bizarre behavioral patterns that have the potential for impaired performance and/or disruption to others
- 行为模式的极端变化(例如.e. hyperactivity or very rapid speech, depressed or lethargic mood, deterioration in hygiene, etc.)
**Note: For 心理健康 emergencies related to imminent danger to self or others, 请拨打911**
这将如何运作??
宾州州立大学蒙阿尔托分校 employees will have the opportunity to identify and confidentially report concerns related to student behavior as it relates to academic progress, 健康, 安全和/或其他相关问题. 网上表格可在上述网站填写. 这取决于关注的性质, specific 护理团队 members will receive the submissions and screen them for priority standing. Referral sources will automatically be notified by the system when their web-based form is received. CARE团队 will meet every other week in the fall and spring (and as needed in the summer) to review the information submitted and determine appropriate outreach/intervention. Referrals will be made to the appropriate academic, administrative or 学生事务 department. CARE主席将根据需要提供联络和跟进, 并将维护CARE表格提交的文件, 外展及转介. This early identification system is not meant to replace individual interventions by faculty and staff and should only be used if other direct methods have been tried and failed.
- 例如, if a faculty member notices that a student is exhibiting poor attendance or not doing well on exams, it is expected that they will address this with the student directly. If this does not yield positive results or the situation becomes worse, the faculty member is encouraged to engage the 护理团队 for assistance. 另外, it is advised that the faculty and staff inform the student that they are providing this information to the 护理团队 and that someone from the team may be contacting them.
- Example two: The faculty member notices that a student has become despondent in class. She looks sad, does not maintain eye contact and is not completing course tasks. The faculty member is encouraged to address these observations with the student and refer the student to the appropriate campus resource, i.e.、谘询服务. 在随访, the faculty member recognizes that the student did not pursue this and continues to exhibit the same behaviors. It is recommended that the faculty member engage the 护理团队, letting the student know that they are concerned and that someone else on campus might be able to help them.
- Example three: A Resident Assistant (RA) in one of the residence halls notices that one of the students on his floor consistently does not go to class, 每周至少有四个晚上很晚才来, 而且似乎避开了地板上的其他学生. 他试图吸引这个学生,但没有成功. 他通知了宿舍生活协调员, who also was unsuccessful in his attempts to intervene with the student. It is recommended that the Coordinator complete an 护理团队 Referral Form. He is encouraged to let the student know that because he is concerned about his welfare and his academic progress, he is sharing his concern with the team and that someone will be contacting him.

保密呢??
Details reviewed by the 护理团队 will be kept confidential by all members. Information may be shared on a strictly “need to know” basis in order to refer the student to the correct campus resource or intervene as appropriate. FERPA allows for communication to be shared among “school officials” who have a legitimate educational interest. Under FERPA, there is clear exception for any risks to health or safety. One good resource is the USDE publication “Balancing Student 隐私 and School Safety: A Guide to the Family Educational Rights and 隐私 Act for Colleges and Universities”, 可以在以下网址找到: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/brochures/postsec.html
