New Directions for Student Support

Rethinking Student Support to Enable Students to Learn and Schools to Teach

Over the many years that school reform has focused on improving instruction, little attention has been paid to rethinking student supports.

This outline provides a set of guidelines for a school's student support component. Clearly, no school currently offers the nature and scope of what is embodied in the outline. In a real sense, the guidelines define a vision for student support. To download a copy of the guidelines in Adobe pdf format, click here. To download the supporting document, click here.
