The six content arenas are described briefly below. Each arena is concerned with the continuum ranging from prevention and early intervening to providing intensive supports.

Classroom-Based Supports = Direct strategies to enable learning in the classroom (e.g., improving instruction and bringing into the classroom other interventions for students who manifest mild-moderate learning and behavior problems and/or have become disengaged from learning at school)

Supports for Transitions = Assisting students and families as they negotiate the many daily and school-year transitions (e.g., school and grade changes, to and from school, periods before school, lunch, and after school, summer, attendance problems)

Home Involvement & Engagement = Increasing home and school connections (e.g., addressing specific support and learning needs or families, enhancing communication with the home; involving homes with school decision making; recruiting families to strengthen the school)

Community Involvement & Engagement = Increasing community involvement and support (e.g., outreach to recruit a wide range of community resources, including enhanced use of volunteers and mentors; connecting school and community to promote child well being)

Student & Family Supports = Facilitating student and family access to effective services and special assistance as needed (e.g., health and social services, personalized academic and career counseling, dropout outreach ).

Crisis Response & Prevention = Responding to, and where feasible, preventing crises (e.g., crisis planning, response, and follow-up; violence and bullying prevention, substance abuse prevention)
