Requesting a specific school support: school support plan
Support focus
Ask for specific help and follow up if the answer is unclear.
Example situation
Jordan understands a project topic but is unsure how to check a draft. The directions say to explain the evidence. Jordan wants the teacher to show one example during a school help period. Jordan does not want to share private details.
Student words or action
“Could you show one example of explaining evidence during the school help period?”
Adult response
“Show or tell me the part where you need help. We can start there.”
A supported practice
Written directions are too long to follow in one reading.
What specific support could they request?
An example response: “Could I have the steps as a short list and check the first one with you?”
A second practice
The first explanation does not answer the student's question.
What specific support could they request?
An example response: “Could you show a different example or do the first step with me?”
