Finding another school adult for help: school support plan
Support focus
Choose a school helper and a backup helper.
Example situation
A pretend student needs to check a bus change, clarify homework directions, and ask for a private conversation about school. The student’s usual teacher is absent. The same helper may not handle all three questions.
Student words or action
A teacher can clarify classwork. The office can help find transport information or the right school contact.
Adult response
“Show or tell me the part where you need help. We can start there.”
A supported practice
A student has a question about the bus. Their teacher is helping another class.
Who could help with this question?
An example response: “Could the office help me find the person who knows the bus information?”
A second practice
A student wants to speak privately but their usual counselor is away.
Who could help with this question?
An example response: “Which available school adult can help me arrange a private conversation?”
