School
Community Intervention Program
SCIP refers to the School Community Intervention Program. This
four component program to assist students experiencing difficulty
in the learning environment was developed jointly by representatives
from the the community and Lincoln Public Schools.
What is the purpose of SCIP?
*To identify students exhibiting high risk behaviors which interfere
with their ability to learn.
*To provide alternative approaches in helping students deal with
these problems.
*To provide a support system for students and parents to address
problem areas both within and outside the school setting.
How does SCIP assist students?
The program has four components, each of which assists students.
Identification of students
who exhibit problematic behavior.
Intervention with the student,
parents, and a school representative from the SCIP team to describe
problem behavior and to seek solutions and explore options which
will increase the student's chance of being successful in school.
Referral to a community agency
tailored to youth and families.
Student Support to assist
students in the school environment. The goal of individual and
group support is to aid the recovery process of the student.
How are students referred to SCIP?
Students are referred to SCIP by teachers, students, administrators,
friends, parents or by self. Once a referral is made, teachers are
asked to observe the student's behavior in class and forward information
to the SCIP team. The team reviews the information and decides what
action should be taken.
