The Irish Support Program is a school-wide prevention program for students who need added support throughout their day. The goal is to catch at-risk students early and provide them with more feedback on their behavior to prevent future problems, as well as to increase the rate of positive interactions for that student with school staff.
Program Outline
² The Irish Support Program is a research-based intervention for at-risk students to provide opportunities for additional feedback and positive interactions.
² Students in the Irish Support Program have been recommended by the TAT Team, a committee of teachers that identifies interventions for students.
² Common behaviors that would elicit this intervention are having trouble staying on-task, difficulty completing work and having office discipline referrals.
² The students check-in every morning with the program coordinator and receive a point sheet based on the school-wide expectations.
² The point sheet is filled out after each class during the day.
² The students check-out with the program coordinator at the end of the day, monitoring progress through goal-setting and charting.
² Weekly reports are sent home so parents can monitor progress.
