LST March Timeline 

In March, transition planning, assessing and communicating student growth are priorities. As always, timelines are suggested approximations intended to be fluid and flexible, recognizing caseloads vary, experience in the role can be a factor, and you may be in the midst of new learning (e.g. CB-IEPs). Being responsive to and compassionate with ourselves, our colleagues and our students is the most important item on our agenda.

Supporting Students to Get Started 

Task initiation is an executive function skill that helps us to get started on work that we may not be motivated to do, do not understand, are avoiding, or don’t have the skills to begin, or any other number of reasons. This quick hit poster is packed with research-based strategies adaptable from K to adulthood, that support individuals to mediate motivation, misunderstanding, attention, and anxiety, to name a few, in order to get started on any task.

Supporting Students to Stay Focused

Sustaining attention is an executive function skill that helps us pay attention even when we’re distracted, tired or unmotivated.

Divided into 4 impactful areas of attention, including Space, Movement, Motivation & Prompting, and Predictability, a few quick  strategies for a starting point are visually cued.
