Before I take a photo: school support plan
Support focus
Ask before making or sharing a picture of someone.
Example situation
Dee pretends a paper square is a camera. Dee wants a photo of a classmate who says no.
Student words or action
Dee says, “Okay.” Dee can draw the classroom plant instead. Saying no does not need a reason.
Adult response
“You can tell me what help you need. You do not have to sort this out alone.”
A supported practice
A child wants to draw a classmate, but the classmate does not want to be in the picture.
What could they do when someone says no?
An example response: “Okay. I can draw the classroom plant instead.”
A second practice
A child asked before taking a pretend photo. Their friend says not now.
What could they do when someone says no?
An example response: “Okay.” The child can choose a toy or an empty place to draw instead.
