In 2022, the Center published "Student/Learning Supports: A Brief Guide for Moving in New Directions. The guide discussed the need for system changes to end the fragmentation, overspecialization, and marginalization of student/learning supports and outlined first steps to take in pursuing the changes. As the 2022 guide emphasizes, significantly reducing the achievement gap requires a laser-like focus on closing the opportunity gap by transforming the role schools play in addressing barriers to learning and teaching and reengaging disconnected students. In essence, the need is for fundamental changes in the way student and learning supports are conceived and structured. That means unifying student/learning supports and developing them into a comprehensive and equitable system. This companion document provides a detailed discussion of the first steps for moving forward, suggests a monthly schedule, and provides links to resource aids for pursuing them. The intended aim of the 2022 guide and this companion document is to make significant improvements in how barriers to learning and teaching are addressed at least at some schools and better yet at all schools in a district.
