Responding to ALL Student Needs

Administration develops processes and routines to understand and respond to all students socially, emotionally and academically.

• Admin builds and leads collective responsibility of staff through school-wide processes that reflect frequently on students’ social, emotional and academic needs leading to development of actions of support with key staff identified to connect with students

• Admin establishes the use of tracking tools so that staff and admin can monitor and respond to student progress in essential outcomes using the continuum of supports (green, yellow, red)

• Admin is highly visible to students and engaged in connecting with them on personal levels

• Admin connects with students and student ‘voice’ to understand how the learning environments are engaging and supporting students’ needs (examples – classroom visits, surveys, focus groups, student advisory team)

• Admin facilitates the school’s use of universal screens for data to plan next steps for students

• Admin keeps the focus of any flexible learning time on student need
