District Supports for Students

-

Assurance from the district level comes from multiple sources. One such source may be the supports that are implemented from a system level, either across schools or directly to schools.

WeCollab has the ability to support the implementation and tracking of such supports so as to provide opportunity to report on their use and effectiveness.

Distributing District Supports

Supports from a district level tend to fall into one of two categories:

  • school-based supports that are supported from the district level (resources, training, etc.)
  • student-focused supports that are involve district level personnel


Both types of supports can be added in WeCollab at the district level to be made available to access at the school level during Collaborative Team Meetings and individual student meetings, including Support Plan meetings. Supports can be differentiated to be made available to specific schools within the district.


Reporting for Assurance

As schools leverage the supports that have been added at a district level and WeCollab users maintain records of their effectiveness for students, a variety of reports within the system may be acquired. These may be used to inform decision making and provide assurance that the support being provided to schools from the system level is having a positive impact.

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...

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...
