This is a chart we use in our building when students come for support - during support time. They put it in one of those clear pockets (heavy duty) and write on it with a dry erase marker. We call it What I Need time
That's a great resource! Using a chart like this during support time can be really beneficial for students. Putting it in a clear pocket and using a dry erase marker makes it easy for them to write and erase as needed. Calling it "What I Need" time also reinforces the idea that this is a time for them to focus on their specific needs.
It also serves as a subtle reminder to the adults around them that when students are struggling, their behavior is a form of communication about unmet needs. Addressing these needs is crucial for creating a supportive and conducive learning environment for all students.
