Independent Contract for Talk Solutions 7-21-21.pdf
Summary: Talk Solutions will continue to provide student support services to all grades at Pleasant Hill Middle School with an emphasis on 6th grade students. Talk Solutions will also spend at least 25% of the time with our Compass (CEP/SEEC) students. Talk Solutions will support and outreach to the large percentage of Special Education population at Pleasant Hill Middle School and provide a scaffolding that is tantamount to those students' achievement. In addition to direct support to students, this contract includes non-student office time for Mr. Roll to design, plan, implement strategies and collaborate on PBIS. Through distant learning, Mr. Roll provides a constant contact for families in need of assistance with struggling students, communication intervention, positive phone calls/texts/videos. Regular school year support services will include supervision of students during passing, brunch and lunch, in-class workshops/lessons, kindness recognition program, lunch time activities, leading students in conflict resolutions and small group support with an emphasis on positive behaviors that reflect Pleasant Hill Middle School.
