Using the Support Staff Series

Every student practices the Daily Practice with their class, and that stays the foundation. The Support Staff Series is built for small groups and one on one settings.

Where it fits

The Daily Practice is universal. Ideally, every student in the building is learning the same skill at the same time, which means the students you see have almost always practiced it before they get to you.

The Support Staff Series picks that up for Tier 2 and Tier 3 support. Same skill, sized for a small circle or a single student across a desk. Topical practices and activities are provided in the series, but daily practices may also be used in small group sessions.

Start your sessions with a practice

Open with a Support Staff Series practice before the conversation begins. A few minutes of settling helps a student arrive.

Students often show up already dysregulated. Reflection is hard to reach in that state, so the practice comes first and the work you do together comes after.

Choosing a practice

You can choose a practice that works best for the specific group or student you are currently working with. You can also select from any of the daily practices.
