Student Support Network

-

Are you struggling to find the right support to meet the needs of a student? Are you wondering what other schools are implementing as supports for their students?

WeCollab has a built in database that may provide assistance.


Student Support Network

Our support toolboxes are limited to our own learning and experience. The Student Support Network provides access to supports identified by other WeCollab users (and vetted by Jigsaw Learning) to continue to increase awareness of what is possible in supporting students.


Using the filters across the top of the database, the list of supports can be honed in on the area of support that is needed for a student or a conversation. The Student Support Network can be filtered by:





Supports can be viewed by clicking on the blue hyperlinked name of the support. A view of a support with all details (as filled out by another district or school who added the support) will be provided.






If a support would be deemed as beneficial for the school or district, it can be saved to the Support List.  For instructions on how to do this, please visit the WeCollab User Support Site and search for "Access Student Support Network".

Building Collective Efficacy

This transparency of the sharing of supports within this database in WeCollab provides opportunity to expand our support toolboxes. However, there is meaning to be made in articulating the supports within a school as a staff rather than simply adopting the supports of another school whose context may be entirely different. It is not about how many supports are available: it is about the quality of the supports that are being provided to students.

Visualizing Jagged Student Profiles

Do your students require more support in some areas than others? Are you looking for digital solution that can reflect the complexity of programming needs of individual learners as well as groups of students? WeCollab can help with the display of student information that demonstrates diverse needs in different focus areas. The Notion of the Jagged Profile In his Tedx Talk, Todd Rose speaks about the myth of average.  He would suggest that it is inappropriate to tier a student as no learner fits succinctly into a single category, nor do they remain in that category each and every day.   Tedx Talk - Todd Rose - The Myth of Average Every learner has a jagged profile: we have areas of strength and areas of challenge that dictate who we are as human beings. When we acknowledge this, we are compelled to move away from the idea of tiering and labelling learners because one tier or one label does not neatly fit any one individual's profile! from Collaborative Response Symposium 2022 O...

Are you a school that needs to update its staff and student rosters manually? Here is an overview of steps for consideration. Annual Roster Rollover Please note that this information is only for those schools who DO NOT synchronize WeCollab with their Student Information System. Roster updates take place automatically within 24 hours of changes in the Student Information System when synchronized with WeCollab.   Update Staff Rosters To access the staff roster information, click the Add/Edit button on the Landing Page.

A Tangible Student Support List

Do you find yourself having difficulty brainstorming possible supports to meet student needs during a Collaborative Team Meeting discussion? Are you unsure of the supports that might be available to your students? Might you be hoping for an organized list to identify possible supports in different focus areas? A tangible copy of the School Student Support List in WeCollab may be of assistance. Continuum of Supports The establishment of a Continuum of Supports is essential for all schools, to organize, articulate and tier the strategies, accommodations and interventions available to support the diverse needs of students. A comprehensive Continuum of Supports, developed and refined over time, helps to inform the collective question "so now what should we do?" and ensures the tiering of  supports , not students. In his blog post Examining Collaborative Team Meetings - Shifting to Key Issues , Kurtis Hewson elaborates on the process of consulting with a Continuum of Supports dur...
